Instant Caramel [Raw + Vegan]

4 Simple Ingredients and you have instant caramel. You can add more ingredients and even get it down to 1 ingredient. 

Standard caramel recipes can include ingredients like refined sugar, corn syrup, butter, whole milk and so forth. I analyzed, compared some of my past caramels and came up with a new absolutely irresistible version. This new variety creates the most amazing caramel that you must try for yourself. It tastes heavenly. It even pulls apart the way caramel chews would, when frozen, so you can eat a little square of caramel, and it doesn't get too hard in the freezer so it is still soft enough to not hurt your teeth. You could also use it in a number of recipes or even a dip. You're going to LOVE this recipe! I foresee it being used in future recipes. :0) From my kitchen to yours with love! Christa ​

Peaceful Preparation:

Variations:

• Add a pinch of salt for salted caramel. 
• Add a splash of vanilla or your favorite flavorings.
• Use 1 ingredient (dates only), dates and water, or dates and coconut milk.
