Why You’ll Love This Salted Caramel Date Fudge:

• Naturally Sweetened: Dates provide all the sweetness you need, eliminating the need for processed sugar.
• Healthy Ingredients: Made with almond butter, coconut oil, and dates for a nutrient-rich dessert.
• Easy to Make: Just blend, freeze, and enjoy!
• Salted Caramel Flavor: The combination of dates, almond butter, and sea salt creates a decadent salted caramel taste.
• Perfect for Snacking: A guilt-free treat that satisfies your sweet tooth.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond butter (or nut butter of your choice)
• 4 pitted dates, soaked in warm water
• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• Flaky sea salt (for topping)

Instructions:

1. Soak the Dates: Soak your pitted dates in warm water until they are soft and pliable (about 10-15 minutes). This will make them easier to blend.
2. Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the almond butter, soaked dates, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
3. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture is too thick, add a little of the date soaking water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired smooth and creamy consistency. Be careful not to add too much!
4. Transfer to Pan: Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Transfer the fudge mixture to the prepared pan.
5. Top with Sea Salt: Sprinkle the top of the fudge with flaky sea salt. This enhances the caramel flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
6. Freeze: Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
7. Slice and Enjoy: Remove the fudge from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Storage: Keep the Salted Caramel Date Fudge stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips and Variations:

• Nut Butter Options: Feel free to use any nut butter you like! Cashew butter, peanut butter, or sunflower seed butter all work well.
• Chocolate Chips: Add a handful of mini chocolate chips to the mixture before freezing for a chocolatey twist.
• Sprinkles: Make it festive with sprinkles!
