This is like a Reese’s Cup but with a caramel filling for that perfect combination of caramel and chocolate that you would get in a Twix Bar! But rather than getting a total day’s worth of added sugar from one treat (a 3.5 fun size Twix Bar = the total amount of added sugar recommended in a full day), this has just 4g of added sugar.
And instead of a chemistry experiment of non-food ingredients like artificial flavors, enriched wheat and corn syrup, this has just five whole food ingredients. Enjoy these better-for-you Caramel Cups this Halloween!
Chocolate Caramel Cups
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 10 deglet noor dates
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt (if you prefer a salty caramel you can double this or wait until the caramel is made and salt to taste)
Optional to Top
- flaky sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Line 12 mini muffin tins with liners.
- Melt half of the chocolate chips in the microwave, heating in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted.
- Add 1 tsp melted chocolate into each muffin tin and then freeze to solidify.
- Add coconut cream to a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Add dates to the bowl and let sit for 10 minutes.
- Pour date and coconut mixture along with salt and vanilla extract into a food processor and blend on high until smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Transfer mixture to a saucepan or pot over low/medium heat and heat until thick, about 10-15 minutes. The mixture can be bubbling, but shouldn’t be so hot that it burns.
- Once caramel is done, allow to cool for a few minutes, then spoon caramel into the cups, should be about ½ tbsp per cup.
- Melt remaining chocolate chips and add 1 tsp over each of the caramel cups. Freeze to solidify and store in the fridge until ready to eat.
