Step-by-Step Instructions for Healthy Twix Bars
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. Combine coconut flour, almond flour, melted coconut oil, and honey in a mixing bowl. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press the mixture into the lined baking dish evenly, ensuring a compact layer.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cool completely.
  5. In a saucepan over low heat, combine almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and sea salt, stirring until melted.
  6. Pour the caramel mixture over the cooled shortbread, spreading it evenly. Freeze for 1-2 hours.
  7. Melt dark chocolate with coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  8. Pour melted dark chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading evenly. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes until chocolate hardens.
  10. Lift the bars out using parchment paper and slice into strips to serve.
