Ingredients you'll need:

    1. Joolies Dates
      • You can't stuff a date without a date! We love using our pitted option for these, but whole work just as well! Just be sure to remove the pit 😉If you're new to the date-ing game, check out this quick fun fact post about medjool dates!
    2. Dark Chocolate
    3. Tigernut (or Almond) Flour
      • Don't have tigernut flour on hand? No problem! You can sub out for some almond flour, but it wouldn't be nut-free if you're ok with that. If you want to experiment with some tigernut flour, you can purchase some tigernut flour on Amazon here.
    4. (Vegan) Marshmallows
      • If you're not vegan, you can get away with regular marshmallows. However, if you are vegan, make sure to find some vegan verified ones at a natural grocery store or you can order them off of Amazon right here!

DIRECTIONS:

  2. Fill a bowl with hot water and place all the dates in it for about 5 minutes (this helps to create a more enhanced caramel texture).

  4. Take the remaining dates and add 1/4 cup hot water to the food processor. Blend until the texture is a thick caramel. Spread date caramel evenly over the crust. 
  5. Take chopped chocolate and sprinkle on top. Then add the desired amount of marshmallows on top.

  7. Cool, slice, and enjoy!
