Instructions

Prepare your dates: Ensure your Medjool dates are pitted and soft. Soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes if they seem dry.
Blend the base: Combine the pitted dates, almond butter, and melted coconut oil in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Shape the caramels: Press the date mixture into a lined small square or rectangular pan, flattening the top until even.
Chill: Refrigerate the pan for about an hour to firm up the caramels.
Coat with chocolate: Melt your chocolate and dip each caramel piece, letting the excess drip off, then place back on the pan.
Let it cool: Return the pan to the fridge until the chocolate hardens fully.

Notes

Store the caramels in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.
