1 1/2 cups seeded dates
1 1/4 cups boiling water

3/4 cup brown sugar
60g butter

Caramel Sauce
While the muffins are cooking, make the caramel sauce by placing 1 cup brown sugar, 100g butter, 300mls cream and 1 tsp vanilla in the Thermomix bowl and cook for 5 minutes on 80 at speed 4 or until thickened.
