Ingredients
  

For the Shortbread Base
  • 1 cup Coconut Flour Provides a gluten-free structure; if you’re out, use more almond flour.
  • 1 cup Almond Flour Adds texture and nutrition; sunflower seed flour works as a nut-free substitute.
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Oil (melted) Binds ingredients together and adds healthy fats; avocado oil is an alternative but alters flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Honey (warmed) Offers sweetness and moisture; for a vegan version, maple syrup is a great option.
For the Caramel Layer
  • 1 cup Almond Butter (creamy or crunchy) Forms a rich caramel layer; feel free to swap it with your favorite nut or seed butter.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances the flavor; it can be omitted if you prefer a simpler taste.
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Adds sweetness to the caramel layer; agave nectar serves as an alternative.
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt Balances the sweetness perfectly; adjust to your taste if necessary.
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Bar or Chocolate Chips Coating for the bars; choose dairy-free chocolate for a vegan-friendly treat.
  • 2 tsp Coconut Oil (for melting chocolate) Ensures a smooth melting process and shiny finish; optional if you don’t have it.

Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • parchment-lined baking dish
  • Small Saucepan
  • heatproof bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Twix Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour and almond flour with melted coconut oil and warmed honey, stirring until fully incorporated. Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined 6x6 inch baking dish, pressing down firmly to create an even layer. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown, then remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sea salt. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the caramel layer to cool completely before pouring.
  3. While the caramel is cooling, break your dark chocolate bar into pieces and place them in a heatproof bowl. Add coconut oil for a glossy finish. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until completely smooth.
  4. Once the caramel layer has cooled, pour it evenly over the prepared shortbread base, spreading it carefully with a spatula. Place the dish in the freezer for 1-2 hours. After freezing, gently pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, tilting the dish to cover fully. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top.
  5. After letting the chocolate set in the fridge for about 5-10 minutes, remove the Healthy Twix Bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into desired pieces.
