Healthy Macadamia Caramel Clusters

Healthy Macadamia Caramel Clusters



Ingredients

5 large Medjool dates
2 tbs coconut milk
1 tbs almond butter
½ tbs raw honey (optional)
about ½ cup of macadamia nuts
4 oz dark chocolate or homemade dark chocolate


Instructions

- remove the pits from the dates
- in a blender or food processor, process the dates with coconut milk, almond butter and honey until smooth
- fold in the macadamia nuts
- melt chocolate over a double boiler or if you decide to make your own chocolate like I did, follow the steps from the recipe here
- like I said above, I dipped each of the macadamia nut caramel mixture in the melted chocolate, about ½ tbs of the caramel mixture. A better way to do this would be by brushing the melted chocolate in candy molds, letting it harder first before adding the caramel mixture, then top it with chocolate

Makes 9 macadamia caramel clusters
