Healthy homemade Twix bars are a creamy shortbread, a fudge caramel layer, and a dark chocolate shell put together with just a few ingredients, and without baking. High in protein and other nutrition, this is a healthy copycat version of the popular candy bar, Twix!
These healthy homemade Twix bars are made with just 4 ingredients. This is in sharp contrast to the processed commercial candy which is full of additives.
The cookie layer is an easy creamy shortbread, the caramel layer is a healthy fudge, and all coated in melted dark chocolate shell. If you love Twix as much as I do, you might also enjoy my homemade twix bites , an even easier version made in a cupcake pan, or even my homemade snickers cups, another healthier peanut butter snack recipe.

Ingredients

- Maple Syrup. Liquid sweetener, and adds a glorious caramel flavor to the cookie filling but if you prefer another liquid sweetener, try it. Or use date paste. Here is my homemade date paste recipe.
- Shredded Coconut. Blend this for a few minutes to create coconut butter. Yes, you can buy jars or make it at home with one ingredient using my coconut butter recipe .
- Chocolate, two forms. Cocoa powder and dark chocolate. To make sure the chocolate is healthiest, choose a dark chocolate that has at least 70% cacao in it. Both are high in antioxidants and mood-boosting magnesium.
