    I first started making these candy cups when my oldest was in kindergarten 3 years ago. Wow, hard to believe she's in the third grade now, time goes by so fast!

    Anyway her class was celebrating the 100th day of school with various actives and treats with the 100 theme. One of the treats being a 100 Grand Candy Bar. I have actually never had this candy before and honestly had no idea what was in it so I did a little search to find out. The description I found was pretty much chewy caramel and crisp rice dipped in milk chocolate. That seemed easy enough to create a vegan version of so I came up with this delicious cup form of the treat.

    what's in it

    These Vegan 100 Grand Candy Bar Cups only require 5 ingredients and about 30 minutes to wipe up.

    Typically caramel consists of heavy cream, butter, and a lot of sugar. YUCK! Dates are naturally very sweet and have a bit of a caramel flavor, making them ideal for replacing the caramel in a variety of recipes. So that’s just what I did here. A little oat flour thickens the date mixture and you get a delicious caramel center with no added sugar.

    I can’t say for certain how close these taste to the non vegan 100 Grand Bar because I have never had one, but I can say they are very tasty. Try them slightly thawed from the freezer for a chewy caramel center or let them thaw longer for a creamier center.

    Ingredients
    • 1 cup dates
    • 2 tablespoon oat flour
    • ½ cup crisp rice cereal
    • 1 cup chocolate chips
    • 1 tbsp coconut oil
    Instructions
    1. Place liners in wells of a muffin pan and set aside. 

    2. Remove pits from dates and soak dates in very hot water for about 10 minutes.

    8. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of date paste into each chocolate coated cup and gently spread into an even layer with back of small spoon.
