This no-bake treat is a tasty take on the classic caramel turtle! Made with fresh, juicy medjool dates, chunky granola, a drizzle of rich chocolate and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt. Vegan and Gluten Free.

For the caramel-like base, we blended fresh, juicy Joolies medjool dates with aromatic cinnamon and vanilla to make a naturally sweet base. Then topped with chunky, crunchy granola, a drizzle of rich dark chocolate and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt 😋 Talk about a flavor bomb!

Ingredients you'll need:

1. 1. Joolies Pitted Medjool Dates
      • We love using our pitted option for these, but whole work just as well! Just be sure to remove the pit😉If you're running low on your stock of dates, you can buy some in bulk right here or in our 2 pack right here!. 
   2. Michele's Salted Maple Pecan Granola
      • This sweet and salty blend takes granola to a whole new level of scrumptious with specially sourced real Vermont maple sugar and organic sea salt. Vegan + Gluten Free + Non-GMO. 
   3. Dark Chocolate
      • What's a turtle without some delicious chocolate? We recommend using a dark chocolate without fillers or artificial sweeteners. We love  Enjoy Life dark chocolate morsels and Hu dark chocolate gems 🍫
   4. Cinnamon and vanilla
      • Adding these two elements into our date base really elevates and compliments the other flavors of this no bake treat.
   5. Flakey Sea Salt
      
      • This little addition takes things up a notch. Totally optional, but highly recommended😎
