I’ve by no means had this occur with the Ninja.
Whereas it’s not as massive as my Breville (which I exploit for burger mixtures and different massive batch prep), it’s one of the best machine for sticky mixtures utilizing dates, equivalent to these fudgy squares and in addition different vitality balls/squares.
