Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soak your pitted Medjool dates in very hot water for about 10 minutes.
  2. Drain the dates and transfer them to a food processor. Add almond butter and melted coconut oil, blending until smooth.
  3. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pour in the caramel mixture, spreading evenly. Freeze for 2-3 hours.
  4. Remove the caramel from the pan using the parchment overhang and slice into squares.
  5. Melt chocolate chips and additional coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip each caramel square into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing on a parchment-lined plate.
  7. Transfer the dipped caramels to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
