Ingredients
  

Chocolate Coating

  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup raw/organic honey or rice malt syrup would also work
  • ½ cup cacao powder

Caramel Filling

  • 6 medjool dates pits removed
  • ¼ cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 tablespoons tahini both unhulled and hulled tahini work
  • ¼ cup maple syrup raw/organic honey or rice malt syrup would also work
  • ½ cup macadamias
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup water

Other

  • 24 macadamias

Instructions
 

  • To make the chocolate coating, melt the coconut oil in a saucepan on low heat. Once melted, remove from heat, add the maple syrup, whisking briskly until well combined. Then add the cacao powder, stirring until well mixed through.
  • To make the caramel filling, place all filling ingredients in a high speed blender and process until completely combined and smooth. You may need to add a little more water to help blend the ingredients.
  • To make the chocolate cups, place 1 teaspoon of the chocolate mixture into 24 mini muffin liners and swirl around to coat the base and sides. Place the liners in the mini muffin tray. Place in freezer for 10 minutes to set.
  • Once the chocolate has set, spoon the caramel filling into each one and place one of the macadamias into and lightly press down. Then cover with more of the chocolate mixture and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours to set.
  • I recommend storing these in the freezer. Allow to thaw slightly before eating.

Notes

You can keep stored in your refrigerator for up to 1 week or you can store in the freezer for up to 6 months. You will need to allow 15 minutes to thaw them out before eating.
