Salted Caramel Chocolate Cups Recipe

Crust:

1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
1/2 cup pretzels
8 whole medjool dates, pitted
2/3 cup coconut oil, melted
a pinch of coarse sea salt

Caramel Filling:

1 cup thick caramel—could be homemade caramel or store-bought caramel pieces melted into a sauce
2 cups chocolate chips, melted
2 tsp of Salted Caramel Blend

Toppings:

Additional Salted Caramel Blend
Additional Coarse Sea Salt

Instructions:

Crust: Pulse the rolled oats, pecans, and pretzels in a food processor until broken down into small pieces. Add the Salted Caramel blend, dates, coconut oil, and sea salt to the food processor and pulse until a soft dough forms. Refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes to help the mixture become easier to work with.

Caramel Filling: While the dough crust cools, get your caramel filling ready and melt your chocolate. Melt your chocolate using a microwave or a double broiler method on a stovetop until you have a smooth consistency.

Assembly: When the crust mixture is firm enough, press into a muffin tin, leaving a well in the center of each cup. Add a tablespoon or two of caramel into each cup and top with chocolate. Sprinkle with additional Blume blend. Refrigerate or freeze until hardened. Remove from muffin tins and serve (give them a little time if they’ve been frozen.
