Chocolate Date Caramel Cups

(Vegan, GF, Grain-Free, Refined Sugar-Free)

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook (aka chill) time: 30 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes

INGREDIENTS:

10-12 pitted Joolies Dates
1/2 cup peanut butter, or nut/seed butter of choice
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate, melted
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

DIRECTIONS:

Soak the pitted dates in hot water for 10 minutes to soften. While you are waiting, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler on the stove over low heat until just soft, then remove and stir until smooth.
Pour out 3/4 of the water and then transfer the soaked dates into a food processor. Process on high for about 1 minute. Next add in the peanut butter and process until well combined.
Grab a muffin pan and fill with paper liners. Fill each cup 1/4 of the way with melted chocolate, then add 1/2 tbsp of the peanut butter date caramel into the center of each cup. Cover up with more chocolate and chill in freezer for 30 minutes.
Store in fridge/freezer for 14 days (if storing the freezer, allow to thaw for 5 minutes before serving).
