Made with just dates, soy milk, and vanilla, it's healthy enough that you don't even have to save it for dessert. Serve it up with fruit slices, smear it on crackers for a salty-sweet snack, swirl it into your hot oatmeal or your bowl of yogurt, or add it as a topping on ice cream. Since it's half the calories of traditional caramel dip, you could even feel good spooning it straight out of the bowl.
