Instructions
Make the caramel:
Add the dates, peanut butter, coconut oil, and water to a food processor and blend until super smooth and caramel-like, adding more water if needed to achieve a smooth caramel consistency.
This may take from 5 to 10 mins to get a super smooth texture.
If desired, add a pinch of salt to enhance the sweetness and blend until the mixture reaches a toffee-like colour.
Shape the caramel into small squares:
Line a small baking tray with parchment and spread and level out the caramel so it is approx 2cm high. You want it to be as smooth as you can.
Place in the freezer to set for 2-4 hours, or overnight.
Remove and slice into squares that are approx 1.5cm x 1.5cm. You may need to allow it to defrost slightly if you left them to set overnight.
Coat in chocolate:
Melt the chocolate and using a fork dip the caramel squares in the dark chocolate so they are all evenly coated.
Place back on the baking parchment and sprinkle with some sea salt.
Place back in the freezer or fridge for 10 mins until they set and enjoy!
