Ingredients
For the Shortbread Layer:
- ⅔ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
For the Caramel Layer:
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
For the Chocolate Coating:
- Melted chocolate (enough to coat the bars)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine coconut flour, melted coconut oil, and 3 tablespoons of honey.
- Stir the ingredients until they form a dough. The dough should come together when pressed but not be excessively sticky.
- Line a square or rectangular baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some extra paper on the sides for easy removal. Press the shortbread dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, using your hands or the back of a spoon to flatten it. Place the pan in the refrigerator while you work on the caramel layer.
- Mix together peanut butter and 3 tablespoons of honey until the mixture is well combined. Spread this caramel mixture evenly over the shortbread layer. Return the pan to the refrigerator or the freezer and let it chill for a minimum of 30 minutes to set.
- Melt the chocolate using your preferred method, whether it's a microwave or a double boiler. Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, ensuring an even distribution to cover the entire surface. Place the pan back in the refrigerator for an additional 15 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
- After the chocolate layer has fully set, use the parchment paper extensions to lift the bars out of the pan. Transfer the bars to a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut them into the desired Twix bar-sized pieces. Enjoy your homemade Twix Bars!
