Chocolate Covered Sea Salt Date Caramels

Blend 1 cup pitted medjool dates, 2 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste, 2-3 tbsp peanut butter (can sub with any nut butter), and a pinch of salt (only if your peanut butter is unsalted!) together in a blender or food processor. Form the mixture into squares and place them on a cookie sheet in the freezer for 20-30 minutes. Melt 1 cup dark chocolate chips or a chopped up bar with some coconut oil until smooth. Coat the squares in the melted chocolate, top with sea salt, and place them back in the freezer for 30 minutes. Enjoy and store in the fridge!
