No bake peanut butter caramel brownie bites:
Okay these no bake peanut butter caramel brownie bites you need in your life ASAP. These little bites of goodness are decadent and the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Ingredients you will need:
- Medjool dates
- Georgia Grinders Organic Creamy Peanut Butter (Substitute any nut or seed butter)
- Cacao powder ( I used Philosophie Cacao Magic) or you can use cocoa powder
- Maple syrup
- Vanilla extract
- Coconut oil
- Hu Kitchen Dark Chocolate Gems (Substitute any type of chocolate chips or chocolate bar you like)
- Optional: Flaky salt
Prepping the no bake brownie base:
First, prepare the brownie batter by adding all the ingredients to a food processor. But make sure you remove the pits from your medjool dates, if they have them. And process until you get a sticky, crumbly consistency. I processed mine for about 20-30 seconds. Press the brownie mixture into a lined loaf pan and freeze while you prepare the peanut butter caramel.
Making the peanut butter caramel:
This peanut butter caramel is the easiest to prepare. Add everything to a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. But if you want you can mix it all up with a spoon too. And then add an even layer to the top of the brownie base, and freeze for at least an hour.
Chocolate layer:
Melt your favorite chocolate with some coconut oil and pour an even layer on top of the peanut butter caramel. And if you dig the sweet and salty combination, sprinkle some flaky salt on top. Freeze for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
Cutting tips:
I have found that if you chop straight out of the freezer, the chocolate tends to crack. And so I recommend letting them sit at room temperature for at least 5 minutes before slicing them up. You can slice them into bars, brownie bites, or into bigger brownies. But they are super decadent, so I would recommend the brownie bites.
How to store:
I like to store in either a reusable silicone bag or airtight container in the freezer. And when I am in the mood for something sweet, I pull a bite out and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes, before devouring.
I hope you love them as much as I do. And if you make them please be sure to tag me in your creations over on Instagram.
