Notes
- Soften dates by soaking them in hot water for 10 minutes to achieve a caramel-like texture when blended.
- Ensure the crust is firm to the touch; if it’s too dry and crumbly, add more peanut butter and date caramel.
- Melt vegan chocolate with coconut oil for a creamy texture. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring well in between.
