Description
These Paydates are a delicious copycat Payday Candy Bar Recipe with clean ingredients and are naturally sweetened with date caramel and peanut butter!
Ingredients
Scale
1/2 c Roasted + Salted Peanuts (roughly chopped)
1/3 c Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 c Date Caramel (check out my date caramel recipe linked here!)
Instructions
- Make Your Base: Start by combining your creamy peanut butter and date caramel in a bowl. Use a spatula to fold the two together until fully combined – you should have a thick, caramel-like texture.
- Pipe Your Candies: Transfer your creamy peanut butter and date caramel mixture into a piping bag or plastic bag and cut the tip off at about 1/2 inch so that you are able to pipe a thick line that is the width of a fun size piece of candy. Pipe the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper, creating the base of your candy bars.
- Freeze Your Candies: Once all of your candies are piped onto your parchment paper, place them in the freezer to set for 45 minutes to and hour (at least).
- Coat Your Candies: Add your chopped peanuts to a small plate or bowl. Once your candies have set/hardened, remove them from the freezer and roll each one in your chopped peanuts, putting light pressure on your candy as you roll so the peanuts stick to the outside of the candy. Repeat with each bar until they’re all coated in peanuts, then place them back into the freezer to set for another 30 minutes before enjoying them.
