How to make Healthy Twix Bars<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/h2>\n

Shortbread Layer<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup coconut flour<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup almond flour<\/p>\n

1\/3 cup coconut oil, melted<\/p>\n

3 tbsp honey, warmed (feel free to sub maple syrup)<\/p>\n

Caramel Layer<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\/2 cup almond butter, creamy or crunchy (swap for your fave nut or seed butter)<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup coconut oil<\/p>\n

1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n

1\/4 cup maple syrup<\/p>\n

pinch sea salt<\/p>\n

Chocolate Layer<\/strong><\/p>\n

One 2.5 oz dark chocolate bar (I use Evolved Eating Signature Dark) Or sub 1\/2 cup chocolate chips<\/p>\n

1 tbsp coconut oil<\/p>\n

1\/4 tsp flakey sea salt<\/p>\n

Instructions<\/h2>\n

Shortbread Layer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.<\/p>\n

Combine coconut + almond flours with melted coconut oil and warmed honey in a large bowl. Stir out all the crumbles of flour until thoroughly combined.<\/p>\n

Line a smaller baking dish (I prefer a 6\u00d76 baking dish) with parchment paper and pack down shortbread mixture into the base using a silicone spatula.<\/p>\n

If shortbread mix starts to stick to spatula, dip in melted coconut oil and continue to gently press down evenly into entire base of dish.<\/p>\n

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until starting to turn golden brown. Remove once done and let cool completely.<\/p>\n

Caramel Layer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Combine almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla, maple syrup and sea salt in a saucepan over the stove on medium-low heat and heat until completely liquified, whisking together, about 2-3 minutes.<\/p>\n

Remove from burner and let cool completely.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Layer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Break up chocolate bar into small bowl and add coconut oil. Warm in microwave for 30 sec intervals, stirring in between, until completely liquified. Or, heat over the stove.<\/p>\n

TWIX BARS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once shortbread & caramel have completely cooled, pour caramel sauce over the base layer, spreading out evenly. Set in freezer until it hardens *completely,* about 1-2 hours.<\/p>\n

Remove from freezer once frozen (if still soft, keep in freezer until fully hardened) and pour chocolate over the top, spreading out evenly.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle flakey sea salt as the last touch and set back in fridge for 5-10 minutes to harden.<\/p>\n

Once chilled, remove the hardened mold from pan by pulling on the sides of the parchment paper.<\/p>\n

Lay on cutting board and using a large chef\u2019s knife, slice into 1\/2-inch strips, and from there, slice each strip into thirds. *if you leave the chocolate layer in the freezer for too long, it may crack when you cut into slices.<\/p>\n

Ready to serve!! Enjoy! Store in airtight container in the freezer or fridge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
