Salted Caramel Granola Cups

Do you LOVE granola, chocolate, and salted caramel? Well, we have the perfect and unique recipe for you. Our Caramel Granola Cups are a twist on the classic peanut butter cups but better! We created an outside granola cup, that's filled with our allergen-friendly Healthy Crunch Salted Caramel Seed Butter, plus we topped it top with a crunchy chocolate layer. This recipe is quick and easy to make, plus it makes the perfect snack or dessert when you're craving a sweet treat that is tree nut-free and peanut-free. Happy Crunching! 

Ingredients:

• 1½ cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1½ cups Pumpkin seeds
• 1/2 cup Gluten-free pretzels
• 8 whole medjool dates, pitted
• 2/3 cup Coconut oil, melted
• a pinch of coarse sea salt
• 1 cup Healthy Crunch Salted Caramel Seed Butter
• 2 cups Chocolate chips (Vegen) melted
• Optional: sea salt, for topping 

Instructions:

1. Pulse the oats, seeds, and pretzels in a food processor until broken down into small pieces. Add the dates, coconut oil, and sea salt and pulse until a soft dough forms. Refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes to help the mixture become easier to work with.
2. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate but putting the chocolate chips into a microwave, and melt until soft. 
3. When the crust mixture is firm enough, press into a muffin tin, leaving a well in the center of each. Add a tablespoon or two of Healthy Crunch Salted Caramel Seed Butter into each cup and top with chocolate. Sprinkle with sea salt if you want.
4. Refrigerate until hardened. Remove from muffin tins and serve. Happy Crunching!
