Let’s make Salted Caramel Date Pops and Double Chocolate Date Pops, an easy kid-friendly treat made from fruit that’s nut-free and vegan.
The nut-free part is deliberate: sunflower seed butter instead of nut butter, so these can go into a school that bans nuts. Split a pitted date, spread the butter inside, slide a cake pop stick in, then dip. The salted caramel ones get a semi-sweet drizzle and the chocolate ones get white chocolate, which is how you tell them apart once they are in the freezer.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On low flame, heat a double broiler and melt your semi-sweet chocolate with 1/4 tsp coconut oil. Stir until smooth. Repeat in another small pot for your white chocolate.
Take a pitted date, and spread some salted caramel sunflower seed butter in it. Glide your cake pop stick into the date and squeeze shut. Dip in melted semi-sweet chocolate and lay flat on your parchment paper. Repeat for the other 3 dates.
