This recipe started out as a way to solve the problem of how to make caramel without butter, ie to make parve or vegan caramel for Vegan Chocolate Matzah Bark. It ended up tasting too good to be just a means to an end.
Ingredients
1 cup almond butter
1/2 cup date syrup (Silan)
1/2 cup coconut sugar (can substitute brown sugar)
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
To make the caramel mix the almond butter, date syrup(Silan), Coconut Sugar, and Water and bring to a boil over medium low heat, stirring constantly.
Continue to cook until it reaches the desired consistency (10-15 minutes) and then stir in salt and vanilla. Remove from heat.
