Medjool dates are sweet and earthy in a way that makes them a wonderful approximation for caramels. Paired with almond flour and almond butter to create a smooth texture with a nutty taste, these candies have no added sugar and still provide a delightful sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs. dates, pitted and chopped
- ⅓ cup almond flour
- 3 Tbsp. almond butter
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- ½ tsp. salt
Directions
- Line an 8″x8″ baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to help remove caramels from pan later.
- Blend all ingredients in a food processor to form a thick paste.
- Spread the date mixture in the pan in an even layer. Freeze to set (1-2 hours).
- Cut into 1″ squares and store in freezer.
