Ingredients
  

For the Shortbread Layer
  • 1 cup Coconut Flour Provides gluten-free structure; substitute with almond flour for a denser texture.
  • 1 cup Almond Flour Offers a nutty flavor; oat flour is a good alternative if nut allergies are a concern.
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Oil (melted) Adds moisture and richness; vegetable oil can be used, but flavors will differ.
  • 1/3 cup Honey (warmed) Natural sweetener for the shortbread base; maple syrup is a suitable vegan alternative.
For the Caramel Layer
  • 1 cup Almond Butter (creamy or crunchy) Gives the caramel its creamy texture; replace with peanut butter for a different flavor.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor; no direct substitutes are recommended.
  • 1/4 cup Maple Syrup Sweetens the caramel layer; honey works if you prefer a thicker consistency.
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt Balances the sweetness and enhances flavors; use kosher salt if flaky sea salt isn’t on hand.
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup Dark Chocolate Bar or Chocolate Chips Provides a rich chocolate coating; ensure it’s dairy-free for dietary compliance.
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil (for chocolate) Aids in smooth melting; it's best not to substitute for ideal texture.
For Garnishing
  • 1 pinch Flaky Sea Salt A final touch to elevate flavor and presentation.

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 the mixture is smooth and uniform. Line a 6x6-inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal, and pack the shortbread mixture firmly into the bottom. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown, then allow it to cool completely.
  2. In a saucepan over low heat, combine almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sea salt. Whisk the mixture continuously for 2-3 minutes until it transforms into a smooth, liquefied caramel. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  3. Take a medium mixing bowl and add chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave the bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and glossy—this should take about 1-2 minutes in total.
  4. Once your shortbread layer is cool, pour the caramel mixture over it, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Place the dish in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until the caramel layer is firm and set.
  5. After the caramel is hardened, pour the melted chocolate over the top of the bars, ensuring it covers the entire surface evenly. Sprinkle a delicate layer of flaky sea salt over the chocolate to bring out all the flavors beautifully. Chill the assembled Healthy Twix Bars in the fridge for an additional 5-10 minutes to set the chocolate.
  6. Once everything is set, gently lift the bars from the baking dish using the parchment paper for easier handling. With a sharp knife, slice them into your desired sizes, revealing the delicious layers of shortbread, caramel, and chocolate. Enjoy your Healthy Twix Bars as a delightful treat!
