Salted Caramel bites

Sweet and salty, indulgent, ready in 15 minutes

These salted caramel bites taste like the trendy flavor combination but are made with dates for natural caramel sweetness.

What you need

• 1 cup dates (pitted, Medjool preferred)
• 1/2 cup cashews
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 2 tablespoons almond butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (plus extra for topping)

How to make it

1. Soak dates in warm water for 10 minutes, drain
2. Add all ingredients to food processor
3. Pulse until mixture is sticky and caramel-colored
4. Roll into small balls
5. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt on top
6. Refrigerate for 30 minutes
7. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks

Why this works

No cooking, pure indulgence. The dates create natural caramel flavor, and the sea salt makes it sophisticated. Perfect for sweet-salty cravings.

Practical tip: Use Medjool dates for the best caramel flavor. The sea salt on top is essential - don't skip it. These taste like salted caramels.
