Before I started eating mainly plant based, I used to love biscoff. Sometimes I still dream about it and really miss that salty, caramelised biscuit flavour that used to come with every spoonful...so I decided to try and make a vegan version. I also was recently introduced to cashew butter and never realised the flavours were actually so similar - all you needed was some cinnamon, maple syrup and salt and you're practically there!! In this recipe I use a good amount of cinnamon as I personally love the flavour, but I'm very aware that some people may wish to tone this down slightly so you can add as much of the spice as you want. Just make sure that there's a good amount of ground salt and you'll be drooling - especially when devoured with the dark chocolate...I'm warning you now, they're dangerously good!

Nothing Like a Sweet Treat

It seems to be the way of the world that quite often the really dangerously delicious foods need to be consumed slightly in moderation, and I have to admit that these are one of those recipes. Due to being a dried fruit, you only need to consume no more than three dates a day without going over the sensible limit (remember too many can have laxative effects!!!), and they have been stuffed with nut butter and chocolate. BUT, life is worth living and every human being occasionally needs a bite of something sweet, and what's a better way than still trying to make a healthy effort, right? As the experts say, everything in moderation, and these are definitely included - you may (like me) just have to work on your discipline a bit more when it comes to these!!!
