Date Caramels Recipe

Date Caramels Recipe

Easy to make, chewy and naturally sweet - this date caramels recipe is made using fudgy dates and creamy tahini. Unlike traditional caramels, which are usually made by cooking sugar, butter, and cream until they caramelise, these date caramels rely on the natural sweetness of dates as well as the richness of tahini to achieve a similar, though healthier, result. I'm revisiting old recipes on my blog that I've completely forgotten about. This date caramels recipe is based on these chocolate covered salted caramel 'fudge' that I shared back in 2018 (how was that 6 years ago?!). I make a lot of very easy, very few ingredient recipes, but this is easily one of the simplest I've ever created. [...]
