Cherry Balsamic Decadence
Dark chocolate and black cherry balsamic vinegar give these a more sophisticated flavor than typical homemade candy. The center is a smooth, satisfying bite that’s soft without being sticky.

Ingredients
Method
- Mix together date sugar and almond flour in a medium-sized bowl.
- Add date syrup, aquafaba, and cherry vinegar and mix until a dough begins to form. Let rest for 5 minutes. If the dough feels too sticky, gradually add more date sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with more date sugar. Roll out the dough to a thickness of ¼” to ½”. Use a 1 ½” round or heart-shaped (or other shapes) cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Place the shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 20-30 minutes until firm.
- Melt chocolate in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring in between.
- Coat each piece in the melted chocolate. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
- Store airtight in the refrigerator with parchment paper between layers.
