Healthier Christmas Crackle

 

Of course we added a little twist on this classic, besides making it vegan and refined sugar-free--a creamy peanut butter date layer made with Georgia Grinders peanut butter and Joolies date syrup to create an even more indulgent candy😍The saltiness of the saltine crackers and peanut butter balances out the sweetness of the date toffee perfectly. Don't worry if you're not a candy maker, this date recipe is easy peasy and takes less than 35 minutes to whip up. Plus it also makes a great homemade gift for friends, family, teachers/mentors, or neighbors. 

Ingredients you'll need:

1. 1. Georgia Grinders Creamy Peanut Butter
      
      • Our most important ingredient! We recommend using  Georgia Grinders Creamy Peanut Butter which has no added sugars, oils, preservatives, etc. Just made with Georgia grown peanuts and a dash of sea salt 🥜
   2. Joolies Medjool Date Syrup
      • The only natural sweetener needed. Plus, you still maintain all the nutrient and health benefits of a medjool date in the syrup form! 
   3. Saltine Crackers
      • This is the our base! Feel free to swap the saltines for Ritz crackers, graham crackers, or cracker 
   4. Vegan Butter
      • This is an important ingredient when making the toffee layer, for a buttery and rich flavor. 
   5. Coconut Sugar
      • A granular sugar is needed to create the desired toffee consistency, so we went with a coconut sugar to keep it refined sugar-free. 
   6. Chocolate Chips 
      • This is what brings it all together! We used Enjoy Life dark chocolate morsels, but you can use white chocolate, or semi-sweet chips!
