Ingredients
Ingredients for the caramel:
- 1½ cups mixed nuts unsalted (190g)
- 1½ cups soft medjool dates (pitted) (200g)
- ¼ cup almond butter (60g)
- ½ - 1 tsp sea salt
Topping ingredients:
- 1 cup 70% dark chocolate chunks (140g)
- ¼ cup chopped pistachios (25g)
- Sprinkle of freeze dried raspberries optional
Instructions
- For the caramel, put the nuts, dates, nut butter and salt into a food processor and blend until sticky and soft (if it won’t stick together add 1-2 tbsp of water and mix again).
- Shape the mixture into 16 balls. Refrigerate them whilst you melt the chocolate.
- Put the chocolate in a bowl and melt over a pan of hot water. Coat each ball with chocolate and top with the chopped nuts and raspberries (and an additional sprinkling of sea salt, if you like).
Notes
- These are best kept in the fridge and will keep for at least 4-5 days.
- They also freeze well.
- The nutritional information is based on the combination of nuts I used pistachios, almonds and hazelnuts– this may differ slightly if use you a different combination.
- Adjust the amount of salt to your own tastes - I used 1 tsp.
- I use a dark chocolate that is minimum 70% cocoa.
