Servings: Makes 12-14 bites


Ingredients

  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1/8 tsp pink Himalayan salt
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup peanut or almond butter (no sugar)
  • 10 drops liquid caramel stevia
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted
  • 2 Tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup Lily’s dark chocolate chips or 85-90% dark chocolate, chopped


Directions

  1. Process the Pecans: In a food processor or blender, add the pecans and pink Himalayan salt. Blend or process until finely ground.
  2. Mix in Cocoa and Butters: Add in the cocoa powder, almond or peanut butter, liquid caramel stevia, and vanilla extract. Process until the mixture is well combined. If you’re using a blender, you may need to transfer the mixture to a bowl and mix by hand.
  3. Combine Remaining Ingredients: Add the melted butter, coconut flour, and chocolate chips to the mixture. Pulse until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  4. Form the Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take about 1 tablespoon of the dough and roll it into a ball using the palms of your hands. Place the rolled bites on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Chill: Refrigerate or freeze the brownie bites until firm. This should take about 30 minutes.
  6. Store: Once firm, store the bites in a sealed container in the refrigerator. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
  7. Optional Garnish: For a special touch, lightly dust the brownie bites with Swerve confectioners sugar before serving.


Tips for Success

  • Flavor Variations: You can experiment with different nut butters (like cashew or sunflower seed butter) for a unique flavor profile.
  • Sweetness Adjustment: If you prefer a sweeter bite, you can adjust the amount of liquid caramel stevia to taste.
  • Nut-Free Option: If you have nut allergies, you can substitute the nut butter with sunflower seed butter or a similar alternative.

These No-Bake Caramel Brownie Bites are perfect for sharing during the holidays or keeping on hand for a sweet snack whenever the craving hits. Enjoy the delightful balance of chewy brownie and sweet caramel in every bite!
