Healthy homemade Twix bars that can be put together with just a few ingredients, and without baking. This recipe has a creamy shortbread, a fudge caramel layer, and a dark chocolate shell. Use a mold or a loaf pan.
Melt the chocolate chips in a pyrex measuring cup in the microwave at 60 seconds.
1 cup chocolate chips, divided
Use a small spoon to spread ½ the melted chocolate all around the inside of each well of a rectangular mold. Or line a loaf pan with parchment paper and spread chocolate on the bottom.
Make Cookie Layer
Mix the cookie mixture in a blender until smooth. Press into the mold wells or on loaf pan and level off with a spoon.
½ cup almond flour, 2 tablespoon maple syrup, pinch salt
Make Fudge Caramel Layer
Add the shredded coconut to the blender, and process 3-4 minutes until you have coconut butter - it will make about half as much as the amount of shredded coconut you started with. For instance, if you blended 1 cup, you will end up with ½ cup of coconut butter.
1 cup shredded coconut
To your freshly made coconut butter, add the cocoa powder and maple syrup.
2 tablespoon cocoa powder, 2 tablespoon maple syrup
Spoon the caramel fudge layer on top of the cookie layer. Tap the mold or pan on the table to level the mixture. Freeze for 1 hour or until solid.
Unmold Bars, Add Last Chocolate Layer
Remove bars from mold carefully, while frozen, without breaking them. Or slice the bars that are in the loaf pan.
Dip the bars in the remaining melted chocolate.
1 cup chocolate chips, divided
Storage
Store the bars in a sealed package in the refrigerator for a week, or freeze for three months.
Notes
Use either a mold or a loaf pan. If you use a loaf pan, you'll need a sharp knife to cut it into squares.
