Step 1.
To make the caramel sauce, place dates and water into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat until dates are plump and water has evaporated. Pour into the bowl of a food processor. Add nut butter, vanilla and salt and process until smooth. If mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon of water and process. Remove and cool.
