Ingredients

For the caramel
- 250 ml Soy cream
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- ½ cup White sugar
- 1 tbsp Vegan butter
- ½ tsp Vanilla

For the hazelnut brownie bites
- 1 cup Hazelnut or Almond butter
- ¼ cup Maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Cocoa powder
- ½ cup Almond flour
- ⅓ cup Raw Nutritional Chocolate-Hazelnut Protein Powder
- 1 tbsp Melted coconut oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup Roasted hazelnuts, finely chopped
- Sea salt, to sprinkle on top of the caramel

Method

Caramel

1- In a very large microwave-safe Pyrex-style container, mix the sugar, brown sugar and soy cream.
Make sure to use a large container — the mixture rises a lot while heating and can overflow.

2- Microwave for 4 minutes. Stay close and keep an eye on it to prevent overflowing.

3- After 4 minutes, whisk well. Return to the microwave for about 3 more minutes, watching closely again.

4- Add the butter and vanilla, and whisk to combine.

5- Place the caramel bowl on top of another bowl filled with ice water (double-bowl method).
Do not use a glass bowl for this step — use stainless steel instead.

6- Stir the caramel and let it cool until it reaches the desired consistency.

Hazelnut brownie bites

1- In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together until you get a smooth, uniform dough.

2- Shape the mixture into 10 small balls and roll each one in the chopped hazelnuts.

3- Create a small indentation in the center using a utensil handle or your fingers.

4- Refrigerate for about 20 minutes.

5- Fill each indentation with caramel and finish with a pinch of sea salt. Enjoy!
