These salted caramel brownie bites are my most popular recipe for a reason. The dates give the caramel vibes and the chocolate peanut butter shell makes the whole snacking experience feel decadent. These are a great make-ahead snack for when you’re craving something chocolate that also provides various nutrients from the almonds, dates, and even the cocoa powder. Feel free to swap out the peanut butter for sunflower butter or almond butter. You can also leave out the mini chocolate chips if you’d like. I hope you love these as much as I do!
