Serves: ~50
Ingredients
  • 12-ounce bag of square pretzels
  • 20 pitted medjool dates, soaked in hot water for 10 minutes and drained well
  • ⅓ cup tahini
  • 1 - 2 cups dark chocolate chips (start with 1 cup if half-dipping or use the full 2 if fully covering in chocolate)
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil (use 1 tablespoon coconut oil per heaping cup chocolate chips)
  • Optional: sea salt
Instructions
  1. Add the dates to a food processor, pulsing until small bits remain. Add the tahini and continue pulsing/processing until the mixture begins to form a paste. You will likely need to stop periodically to scrape the sides down. Add 1 - 2 tablespoons warm water if needed to help the dates process into a paste. (Be sure not to add too much - you want to make sure it's a paste and not too liquid-y!)
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a layer of pretzels on it in a flat layer. Add about 1 heaping teaspoon of the date caramel on each pretzel then sandwich together with another pretzel. Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in a double broiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments.
  4. If you're half-dipping the chocolate, dip a side of each pretzel sandwich in the chocolate mixture and place back on the parchment lined baked sheet. If you're fully dipping, use a fork to dip each pretzel into the chocolate, shaking off the excess. Place back on the parchment lined baking sheet. If you're adding sea salt, immediately sprinkle each after dipping in chocolate.
  5. Place in the fridge until set, about 10-20 minutes. Store in the fridge until ready to serve,
