Step-by-Step Instructions for Date Caramels
  1. Soften the Dates: Soak 1 cup of pitted Medjool dates in hot water for about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Blend the Mixture: In a blender, combine the soaked dates, 2 tablespoons of almond butter, and 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil. Blend until smooth.
  3. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Transfer the blended mixture into the pan, press evenly, and freeze for 2-3 hours.
  4. Cut into Squares: Once firm, lift the mixture from the pan and cut into 12 equal squares.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Combine 1 cup of chocolate chips and 2 teaspoons of coconut oil in a bowl. Heat in the microwave until glossy.
  6. Dip the Caramels: Dip each square in chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a cooling rack.
  7. Set the Chocolates: Refrigerate for 1 hour to let the chocolate set completely.
