It’s like a snickers, but with salted caramel.
I had no idea what I was making when I started this recipe. It was purely just for fun. I had been wanting to make some tahini caramel for some time, it is so quick and can be used for a number of different sweet things. It then morphed into layering this with peanut butter, and covering in chocolate - to resemble these salted caramel peanut bites. They’re rich, gooey and definitely one to add to the list for homemade Christmas gifts (too soon?!).
Makes 9 bites
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 tbsp hulled tahini
- 2 tbsp milk (plant-based or dairy)
- 2 tsp maple syrup
- 9 tsp crunchy peanut butter
- 250g dark chocolate
- Sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Combine the tahini, milk and maple syrup in a small pot over a low heat. Stir while the mixture warms and starts to thicken. Turn off the heat and let sit for a few more minutes to thicken.
- Spoon evenly into a silicone tray that is safe for freezing.
- Freeze caramel until firm, then spoon 1 tsp of peanut butter on top and smooth. Return to the freezer for at least an hour.
- Gently melt the chocolate in a double boiler, or in the microwave, stirring well and being mindful not to overheat.
- Remove each bite from the silicone mould and using two spoons dunk into the melted chocolate, turning until covered and then placing on baking paper to set.
- Sprinkle with a little sea salt and enjoy!
-
Store in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 3 days.
- Feel free to make smaller, if you have a silicone tray that is a smaller volume.
