Title: Caramel Balls Recipe Easy Peasy Energy Bites Snacks
Ingredients:
– 1 cup pitted dates
– 1 cup cashews
– 1/2 cup rolled oats
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– 1/2 cup shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions:
1. In a food processor, combine the dates, cashews, rolled oats, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend the mixture until everything is finely chopped and well combined. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together when rolled into balls.
2. Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls using your hands. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet your hands slightly to make the rolling process easier.
3. If desired, you can roll the balls in shredded coconut for an extra layer of flavor and texture. The coconut adds a nice touch and also helps prevent the balls from sticking together if you plan to store them.
4. Place the rolled balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set and firm up. This step is important for the balls to hold their shape and maintain a nice texture.
5. Once the caramel balls have chilled and firmed up, they are ready to be enjoyed! Keep them stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week for a quick and convenient snack option whenever you need a burst of energy or a delicious treat.
These Caramel Balls are not only delicious but also versatile. Feel free to customize them by adding your favorite mix-ins such as chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
