Vegan Chocolate Caramel Truffles

Be prepared to indulge.

Although, it may be hard to stop!

For anyone with a sweet tooth and for anyone following a vegan diet, you may agree with me in that finding vegan sweets is no easy task. I’m not talking Oreo’s or twizzler’s or any treats that are loaded with processed ingredients. I’m talking natural ingredients that we can feel good about. Right?! 

Luckily, this can easily be fixed with 4 simple ingredients. You probably have them already too. 

gooey medjool dates.
creamy sunflower seed butter. (or any nut butter)
sea salt.
vegan chocolate chips.

That’s all you need for these Vegan Chocolate Caramel Truffles. It’s SO simple.

The “caramel” is actually date caramel which is life-changing on it’s own. When you blend gooey medjool dates, they magically form into a caramel-like sticky mixture and taste like the real deal. No wonder they are known as nature’s candy! Dates are magical little things. 

Then, you will blend in the creamiest sunflower butter – because why not? Use a tablespoon to scoop out truffle shapes, sprinkle with fine-grain sea salt and freeze. 

Drench the truffle balls in melted vegan chocolate.

And you have yourself some out-of-this-world vegan candy. 

 Try not to eat them all at once 😉
