I have a question regarding your recipe for "Date Nut Sticks". It's one of my favorite Christmas recipes but I have a question. What's the secret to getting the coconut to stick to the Date Nut Sticks. I've tried doing it when the sticks are still warm and I've tried waiting until they are cool and I cannot get the coconut to stick. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
