How to Prepare Apple Date Caramel Bites [Vegan, Grain-Free]

First make date caramel by putting all the ingredients (Medjool dates, coconut oil, almond milk, vanilla, and salt) into the food processor and blend until creamy and smooth. If necessary, add another 1-2 tablespoons of milk.
Prepare apples by scooping out little balls using a melon baller (or alternatively just cut apples in slices). Put each little ball/bite on the toothpick or lollipop stick.
Prepare all the toppings in separate little containers, such as a muffin pan.
Dip each bite into the date caramel and then into toppings (or even better, let the kids/people do that themselves because it's a lot of fun!).
