Raw caramel

So I was in the kitchen today with the idea of making some chocolate, when I got very sidetracked and ended up making caramel instead. And, oh boy, was it worth the detour...

I did end up making chocolate caramel cups, but I used silicone moulds that were a little too small, so it's back to the drawing board. I have enough caramel left to make something else with, so I think I might perfect my raw caramel slice. Tough job, but someone's got to do it, right?

 Ingredients:

10-12 pitted medjool dates, soaked in boiling water for 10 minutes and drained
6 tbsp cocoa butter, melted (you could use coconut oil in a pinch, but I think this is the key to making this caramel so good and gives it that slightly thicker texture)
2 tbsp raw honey
2 tbsp almond butter

Method:

Pop all the ingredients into a food processor or blender and whizz till smooth and thick. I found that the longer I blended (5 - 10 minutes or so), the better it got.

Store in the fridge and use however you like - just try not to eat it all in one sitting!
