Ingredients:

Shortbread Layer:

• 1 1/3 cups almond flour
• 1 cup oat flour
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (or raw honey)
• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil

Caramel Filling:

• 1 cup creamy almond butter
• 1/3 cup maple syrup (or raw honey)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup oat flour
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• Pinch of sea salt

Melted Dark Chocolate (for coating)

Instructions:

1. Make the Shortbread Layer: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/3 cups almond flour, 1 cup oat flour, 1/4 cup maple syrup (or raw honey), and 1/3 cup melted coconut oil. Stir together until everything is well combined, and a dough-like texture forms. You want it to be soft but firm enough to press into your pan.

2. Form the Base: Line a baking dish with parchment paper or wax paper. Press the dough mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish, creating a solid, compact layer. Place the dish in the freezer to set while you prepare the caramel filling (about 10 minutes).

3. Make the Caramel Filling: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup creamy almond butter, 1/3 cup maple syrup (or raw honey), 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/3 cup oat flour, 1 tbsp coconut oil, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. This will form your rich, gooey caramel layer!

4. Assemble the Bars: Once your shortbread base has set in the freezer, remove it and spread the caramel filling evenly over the chilled shortbread layer. Make sure it’s spread out to the edges for a nice even layer. Return the dish to the freezer and allow it to set for about 1 hour, or until the caramel has hardened.

5. Cut and Coat: After the caramel has set, take the dish out of the freezer. Use a sharp knife to cut the bars into squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.

6. Coat with Chocolate: Melt your dark chocolate (you can do this by microwaving it in 30-second intervals or using a double boiler). Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, coating it generously. For extra texture and flavor, you can even drizzle some extra chocolate over the top once the bars are dipped. Place each coated bar on a lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.

7. Freeze and Enjoy: Once all the bars are dipped in chocolate, pop them in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and set. Once they’re ready, enjoy the perfect balance of crunchy, chewy, and chocolatey goodness!

Pro Tip: These bars are super versatile, so feel free to switch up the nut butter or sweeteners to your liking! Also, store them in an airtight container in the freezer for whenever your sweet cravings strike.

Enjoy your homemade Twix bars!
