no-bake salted caramel cups

Salted caramel for the win!

Also: oats for the win.

And also more specifically: oats with pretzels and dates and pecans and caramel and chocolate and sea salt as a snack and dessert — um, yes. Going for the epic major win here.

If you’ve been to my house, our studio, or a workshop here recently, there is a 100% chance that I offered you a peanut butter pretzel energy bite or raw salted chocolate snack bar because I can’t stop poppin’ these easy, versatile, nutritious little snacks. I hope you’ve enjoyed this phase of overwhelming love for the snack zone, because friends? Today we level up.


About 3 days ago, I officially graduated from the basic snack obsession to a more sweet, more luscious, more snack-meets-dessert type situation that includes a similarly delicious oat and date and pretzel base, a layer of chocolate with sea salt on top, and a little golden nugget of soft salted caramel tucked away inside. GOLDEN NUGGET. SOFT SALTED CARAMEL. NO-BAKE. I cannot. Buuut I really, really can. Things are getting serious and delicious.

These little snacky-dessert winners are called No-Bake Salted Caramel Cups, and they remind me of peanut butter cups but a more interesting, sophisticated and homemade version.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1½ cups Quaker Rolled Oats
  • 1½ cups pecan halves
  • 1/2 cup pretzels
  • 8 whole medjool dates, pitted
  • 2/3 cup coconut oil, melted
  • a pinch of coarse sea salt
  • 1 cup thick caramel (could be homemade salted caramel, date caramel, or store bought caramel pieces melted into a sauce – but make sure it is a little bit salty!)
  • 2 cups chocolate chips, melted
  • sea salt, optional, for topping

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. CRUST: Pulse the oats, pecans, and pretzels in a food processor until broken down into small pieces. Add the dates, coconut oil, and sea salt and pulse until a soft dough forms. Refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes to help the mixture become easier to work with.
