✅ Use high-quality nut butter – The richer the nut butter, the creamier and more flavorful your cookie dough will be.

✅ Adjust the consistency – If too thick, add a splash of water or milk to help with blending.

✅ Don’t skip the sea salt – The contrast of sweet and salty makes this treat irresistible!

Soak the Dates:
Place the pitted dates in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for 10 minutes to soften. After soaking, drain the water completely.
Blend the Base:
In a food processor, combine the softened dates, almond flour, nut butter, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
Add Chocolate Chips:
Transfer the mixture to a bowl and gently stir in the dark chocolate chips.
Finish and Serve:
Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top for that perfect sweet-and-salty balance. Enjoy your caramel cookie dough butter straight from the bowl or spread it on toast, fruit, or crackers!
