I’m not a huge chocolate fan. Or a caramel cups fan… most of the time.

I know it’s nuts but chocolate just doesn’t really do it for me. I much prefer vanilla, and I love vanilla with caramel.

These make great candies and are the perfect little treat.

Ingredients

2 cups cashews I buy THIS brand
1/2 cup maple syrup I buy THIS brand
1/2 cup coconut oil melted (I buy expeller pressed, it has no coconut flavor)
1 tbsp vanilla I buy THIS brand

Instructions

Soak the cashews overnight in filtered water.
Drain the cashews and add them to a blender with all of the other ingredients. You will need a strong blender for this, like a Vitamix.
Pour the mixture equally into 8 cupcake tins.
Add to the fridge and make the caramel while it hardens.
Pour in the caramel in a caramel cups-like fashion.
Let it cool in the fridge for at least an hour. Add Himalayan salt!

Notes

I like these cashews. For maple syrup, I recommend this brand and for vanilla, I go for this brand.
