➡️When shopping for ingredients:
Look for a higher percentage of cacao for the chocolate chips, and always read the ingredients.
There are often lots of questions about chocolate brands – I like to visit the specialty (nicer) chocolate section at the stores and find a really high quality, (often organic) dark chocolate bar on SALE – so I’m often trying something different because the sales dictate my purchase.
🍫A high-quality dark chocolate bar works great too! I’ll often find a beautiful organic dark chocolate bar on sale, then chop it up to use for things like this.
I like to buy the highest quality I can find when it’s on SALE! I’m always keeping an eye out for a good deal and will often stock up when a high-quality product is on special.
Use any dark chocolate chips of your choice: the higher cacao percentage = more health benefits.
12 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 cup pitted Medjol dates
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup all-natural peanut butter or any nut or seed butter of your choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ cup almond flour
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
- flaky sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions:
In a small saucepan add your pitted dates and water. Bring it to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes to soften. Remove from heat and allow it to cool, then drain off the liquid.
Transfer the dates to a food processor or high speed blender. Add peanut butter, vanilla, sea salt, and almond flour.
Pulse until completely smooth, scraping down the sides a couple of times throughout the blending process.
Lightly grease a silicone loaf pan with coconut oil, or line with parchment paper.
Add in your date mixture and press down with your hands to an even thickness. It should be about 1/2 inch thick. Freeze for 1 hour.
Once your mixture is solid, remove from the freezer and slice into 12 equal slices.
Melt your chocolate in the microwave on High, in 30 seconds increments, stirring after each one. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler over the stove.
Dip each caramel piece into your melted chocolate and sprinkle with a bit of flaky salt. Set back in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
Keep refrigerated, in an airtight container, for 1 week, or frozen for up to 2 months if sealed well.
Enjoy!
