Healthy Homemade Twix Bars Recipe

These homemade Twix bars are layered treats made from an almond and coconut flour shortbread base, topped with a smooth almond butter caramel, and finished with a coconut oil and cocoa powder chocolate layer. The bars are baked and then chilled between layers to set each component firmly before cutting into individual sticks. This recipe offers a homemade alternative to classic candy bars, emphasizing wholesome ingredients and natural sweeteners.

Description

The Healthy Homemade Twix Bars start with a crust blending almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla, pressed into a pan and baked until edges brown. A creamy caramel layer follows, made from almond butter, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt, mixed smooth and chilled atop the cooled crust. Once set, a chocolate layer of coconut oil, cocoa powder, maple syrup, and salt is poured over, then refrigerated until firm. Cut into 16 sticks after chilling, the bars bring together nutty, sweet, and chocolate flavors with a firm yet tender texture.

The layered construction gives these bars contrast between crunchy base, soft caramel, and solid chocolate. They offer a snack or dessert option that balances indulgence with ingredient transparency. Preparation requires planning for chilling time between layers but minimal active baking time.

Using parchment-lined pans simplifies removal and cutting. Adjust baking time to avoid overbrowning the crust. These bars store well in the refrigerator to maintain firmness. Greaseproof paper can substitute for parchment if greased properly.

Ingredients

Servings
  • Shortbread Ingredients:
  • 2 cups almond flour 8oz/240g
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil 2 ½ fl oz/71ml, melted
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup 4oz/115g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • Caramel Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup almond butter creamy, 4oz/115g
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil 2 ½ fl oz/71ml, liquid
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup 4oz/115g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • Chocolate Ingredients:

Notes

  • Use an 8x8-inch square pan or a 7x11-inch pan for similar capacity when making the bars.
  • Baking parchment is silicon-coated and non-stick; grease-proof paper is an alternative but requires greasing the pan and the paper.
  • Chill each layer thoroughly to ensure proper firmness before adding the next.
