These Raw Caramel Slice Bites are one of the best raw treats ever. You can’t beat the combo of the coco-nutty base with the gooey caramel and the raw chocolate on top made into mini bite sized treats.

It’s official… I love caramel based desserts and my Raw caramel slice is my favourite raw dessert ever!! It is one of the very first raw desserts recipes that I shared on Becomingness and has always has been at the top of my favourite desserts list!

I have even also made a few caramel slice recipe variations over the past few years like these salted caramel bliss balls or these chocolate caramel nut truffles.

I absolutely love the combination of the coco-nutty base with the gooey raw caramel and the raw chocolate on top.

The reason I made this raw caramel slice recipe into smaller bite size pieces is in response to a question I am asked sometimes about how to cut my raw dessert slices without the chocolate cracking on top.

INGREDIENTS

  • Macadamias – you can also use cashews or blanced almonds
  • Medjool dates – make sure you use medjool dates for the base, however you run the risk of the base ingredients not sticking together. Medjool dates are much sticker than regular dates and my go-to when making raw desserts.
  • Maple syrup – rice malt syrup also works well
  • Cacao powder
  • Desiccated coconut
  • Coconut oil
  • Vanilla extract
  • Sea salt

FAQS

What are the best dates to use to make the base?

I highly recommend using Medjool dates to make the base of this raw slice. Medjool dates are sticky so they really bind together all the ingredients really well.
If you use regular dates, you will most likely find that the mixture will not hold and you will need to use a little bit of coconut oil or nut butter for the base to stick together.

What do I do to stop the base layer from sticking to the spoon?

If you are finding that the base mixture is sticking to your spoon when pressing it into the mini muffin tray, you can dip a clean spoon into some coconut oil which will stop the mixture from sticking and also smooth down the layers.

How should I store this slice?

This slice is best kept in an air-tight container in your freezer so that it stays nice and firm. Simply remove from the freezer and thaw for a few minutes before eating.

Ingredients
  

Base layer

  • 1/2 cup macadamias
  • 6 medjool dates pitted
  • 1/4 cup desiccated coconut

Caramel layer

  • 1/2 cup macadamias
  • 7 medjool dates pitted
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup or rice malt syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Chocolate layer

  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or rice malt syrup
  • 1/3 cup cacao powder

Instructions
 

  • To make the base layer Add the ingredients to a high speed blender or food processor and blend until it resembles fine crumbs and sticks together when pressed. Spoon mixture into a 24 mini muffin pan (see note below) and press down with the back of a teaspoon. Place it in the freezer.
  • To make the caramel layer. Add the ingredients to a high speed blender and process until completely combined and smooth. Spoon the mixture onto the bases and smooth over with the back of a teaspoon (see note below) and place back into the freezer for at least 1 hour to set.
  • To make the chocolate layer Melt the coconut oil in saucepan on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the sweetener. Whisk briskly until well combined. Then add the cacao powder, stirring until well mixed through. Pour the chocolate on top of the caramel layer and place back into the freezer and let it set completely, approximately 3-4 hours. Once frozen, they are much easier to remove.
  • Storage. I keep mine store in the freezer in an air tight container and remove them a few minutes before serving/eating.

Notes

  1. I recommend using a mini silicon muffin tray as it will be a much quicker task preparing and also when they are ready to remove from the tray. Alternatively, you can cut out little strips of baking paper to use as tabs at the bottom of the regular mini muffin tray, to make it easier to remove them from the muffin tray.
  2. The cook time does not include the time it takes for the raw caramel slice bites to freeze — approximately 3-4 hours, depending on the temperature of your freezer.

    I was dubious about changing from the full slice recipe that I had found online and loved making but the Bites are really good – a bit different taste but delicious. I only make the Bites now and highly recommend.

  2. Hi Would these last out of the fridge for long? I. Wanting to have them at a party but worried they might melt

  7. These were great! The amounts spot on 😀 Couple of changes I did on the second round.. Used silicon moulds – easy clean up and quicker than paper strips.. AND you NEED to add some coconut oil to the caramel layer to help it set – my first batch squished out.. added 1.5tbsp to second lot which helped.. also used soaked dried dates on the 2nd batch no worries at all – chucked a couple extra ones in for good measure 🙂 thanks!
