Method
 

Instructions
  1. Place 12 silicone muffin liners on a tray.
  2. Blend the dates, peanut butter, warm water, vanilla, and salt until a thick, smooth caramel forms.
  3. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 20-second microwave intervals, stirring between each interval.
  4. Spoon 1 teaspoon of melted chocolate into each liner and tilt to cover the bottom.
  5. Freeze for 10 minutes, then add 1 tablespoon of date filling to each cup.
  6. Cover with the remaining chocolate and sprinkle with the chopped peanuts.
  7. Freeze for 20 minutes, until firm, before removing from the liners.

Notes

Keep refrigerated for a softer caramel center or frozen for a firmer bite. Use dairy-free dark chocolate when needed.
