Healthy Twix Bars

Course Dessert
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 9 twix bars

Ingredients

Shortbread

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2.5 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Date Caramel

  • 1 cup Medjool dates pitted and soaked in hot water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup vegan dark chocolate
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix almond flour, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until a dough forms. Roll the dough into a ball between two sheets of parchment paper.
  • Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut into rectangle shapes to form the base of your Twix Bars.
  • Place the bars on the baking sheet and bake for 25-27 minutes until golden brown and firm. Let cool completely.
  • Make the date caramel by blending soaked dates until smooth. Spread a thick layer of caramel over the shortbread and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil, coat each Twix bar, and return to the freezer to set.
  • Once set, remove from the freezer and indulge!

Notes

  • Roll the shortbread dough between parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Shortbread is ready when firm to the touch and golden brown on the edges.
  • For the best date caramel, use a food processor or high-speed blender. Add a splash of water or vanilla extract if needed.
  • Incorporate coconut oil to melt the chocolate. Microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring each time.
