Ingredients
Scale
- 1 packed cup soft Medjool Dates*
- 3 tbsp Nut Butter (I prefer Cashew Butter or Tahini)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Sunfoods’ Maca Extreme Powder
- ¼ tsp Pink Salt
- Optional Toppings: Vegan Chocolate, Flaky Sea Salt
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor and high-speed blender and process until smooth; you may need to use a spatula to scrape the sides.
- Transfer the caramel into a bowl and place in the fridge for 10 minutes; once hardened, use your fingers to roll 1 tbsp balls of the caramel mixture into candy-shaped pieces. It helps to keep your fingers moist for this step!
- Serve as-is, dip them in Chocolate, or top with extra flaky Sea Salt, if desired. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to two weeks – these can also be kept in the freezer for up to one month.
Notes
- It’s important to use very soft Medjool Dates to this recipe, so they blend well. I would advise against using harder dates and soaking them, as this will add extra water to the recipe and the Caramels will not be as thick/smooth
