These Chocolate Date-Caramel Cups offer the perfect combination of rich chocolate and naturally sweet caramel, made entirely from dates. Indulgent but guilt-free, these treats are dairy-free, refined sugar-free, and easy to make. They’re perfect for a post-dinner dessert or an afternoon pick-me-up that doesn’t compromise on taste.

Ingredients

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or dairy-free chocolate)

• 1 cup pitted Medjool dates

• 2 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• A pinch of sea salt

Directions

• Melt the chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave, melt the chocolate chips until smooth.

  

• Make the date caramel: Blend pitted dates, almond butter, vanilla, and a pinch of sea salt in a food processor until smooth and creamy.

• Assemble the cups: Spoon a layer of melted chocolate into mini muffin liners, followed by a dollop of date caramel, and top with more chocolate.

• Chill in the fridge: Place the cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.

  

• Garnish with sea salt if desired and enjoy straight from the fridge!

How to Make Date-Caramel Chocolate Cups
