Unfortunately, sweets are way too tasty... although if I have to choose between never having savory snacks again or never having sweet snacks again, that's a tough choice. But anyway, I also love something sweet, and I made a slightly healthier snack with it. These dates are sweet in themselves and often also a nice addition when you make a recipe where you want to use some sugar. This time, this mascarpone date with caramelized nuts is the snack in itself, and I can recommend it to you. I also have one for the replacement of the well-known Snickers.

Mascarpone date with caramelized nuts
We caramelize the nuts with some honey and olive oil, which gives a great flavor combination. That is super easy, but wait a moment before tasting them until they have cooled down, because the nuts are really hot straight from the pan. You can easily burn your tongue or palate.
The mascarpone can also be replaced with a light cream cheese, but for the creaminess a full version can also be used. This way you have a tasty snack that you can enjoy and that is also healthy. I always keep my dates in the fridge, that way they are a bit firmer and have a bit more bite, which makes the overall eating experience even better.
Below is the full recipe with ingredients. Have fun making the recipe below. Delicious bites!
