I know now it’s hard to always eat healthy, cutting sugar is no joke!  Sometimes you just want something sweet.  Sweeter than a piece of fruit.  Maybe caramel?  There is nothing like a good salted caramel…am I alone here?  While this isn’t a sticky ooey gooey sugar based caramel, it is a lovely sweet and salty, velvety caramel you can customize to your taste.  In the recipe you can take out the vanilla, making just a salted caramel, add some cocoa to make chocolate caramel…there are so many possibilities.

Now that I am full out drooling, here is the easiest caramel you will ever make.

Place all ingredients in your blender (please make sure your dates are pitted).  Blend until smooth.  Done.  Now enjoy with some sliced apples as a dip, over apple crisp or chocolate cake, frozen then dipped in some naturally sweetened chocolate, you decide.  I would love to hear what uses you found for it.  Shoot us a pic!
