Cookie Dough Caramel Bars (vegan, no bake, gluten free)

I know it's winter but I love no bake treats sometimes! They're so easy to make and never disappoint!

Hopefully you'll have the patience to let them sit in the fridge but even without the wait they still taste great!

These bars are almost like candy with the delicious date caramel filling.
