Say hello to the most delicious vegan "Twix" bars! American Twix bars have a cookie base with a caramel center topped off with chocolate. The original Twix bars aren't vegan, so make this vegan and gluten-free version instead so everyone can enjoy them! They would be great for parties, special occasions, or to gift to a chocolate lover.

- 1 cup and 3 tablespoons coconut flour
- 2/3 cup coconut oil (solid)
- 4 tablespoons of maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
For the Caramel:
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/3 cup and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 cup and 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract/flavoring
For the Chocolate:
- 5.3 ounces of vegan dark chocolate
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Preparation
To Make the Base:
- Preheat your oven to 355°F and line a square baking tin with parchment proof paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Mix and bring together with your hands until a dough forms.
- Press the dough into the lined tin and pop into the oven to bake for 10 minutes, until golden in color. Allow to cool fully before topping.
To Make the Caramel:
- In a mixing bowl, add in the almond butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour over the base and pop into the refrigerator for an hour to set.
To Make the Chocolate:
- Fill a small saucepan with hot water and place a heat-proof bowl on top.
- Add in the chocolate and coconut and melt until smooth.
- Smooth the chocolate over the caramel layer, even out with a spatula or spoon and pop back into the refrigerator until the chocolate sets.This will take around 30 minutes.
- Once solid, heat a knife and cut into bars.
- Serve cold, as they will soften if left at room temperature for too long. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator, best eaten within a few days.
