Published 8/17/2023 • Updated 8/30/2023 Ditch the store-bought candy and make your own salted caramel date cups with Medjool dates, chocolate chips, coconut oil, and sea salt! Date caramel is such a fun swap for refined-sugar-packed caramel; you only need one ingredient – dates! Process them in your food processor to make date paste, then roll them into little balls. Cover them with melted chocolate and freeze.

What is in salted caramel date cups?

These date cups are made with 4 simple ingredients. The star? Medjool dates! Make sure you use soft dates to easily form a paste in the food processor. You’ll also need semi-sweet chocolate chips, a little coconut oil, and sea salt for topping.

Substitues & Variations

Chocolate: instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips, you can use dark chocolate or even dairy free chocolate. Big cups: don’t have a mini muffin tin? Use a regular-sized one instead.

Storage

We recommend storing these in your freezer in a freezer-safe, gallon-size bag. They will last up to 3 months.
