Prepare the Dates:

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the sugar, stirring continuously until it turns amber.
Add ghee and stir until melted. Slowly add heavy cream, stirring continuously. Boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Add vanilla and salt.
Let the caramel cool slightly for a thicker consistency before dipping.

Coat the Dates:

Melt dark and white chocolates in separate bowls.
Dip each filled date in either melted chocolate or homemade caramel. Use a variety of combinations for an assorted selection.

Before the coatings set, sprinkle the dipped dates with chopped pistachios, almonds, cinnamon, or sea salt flakes.
Add contrasting drizzles or edible gold leaf for a luxurious touch.

Chill and Set:

Place the coated dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to set the coatings.

Serve:

Present these assorted gourmet dates on an elegant platter, offering a luxurious snacking experience.
