Twix Bars
Ingredients:
Cookie Layer
2/3 cup coconut flour OR 1 3/4 cup almond flour
1/3 cup coconut oil (melted and cooled)
3 tbsp maple syrup
Caramel Layer
1/3 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp peanut butter (any nut butter works!)
Chocolate Layer
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together the ingredients for the cookie layer. Press it into an 8x8 pan so the whole bottom is covered.
Bake the cookie layer for 8 minutes (COCONUT FLOUR BASE) or 13 minutes (ALMOND FLOUR BASE) until the crust starts to brown on the edges. Wait for the crust to cool.
On medium heat, add in the maple syrup and coconut oil into a sauce pan. Stir until completely melted. Add in the peanut butter and whisk it together until the mixture begins to thicken and form a caramel. Be sure not to talk away from the caramel and keep a close eye because it can burn easily.
Add the caramel to the cookie layer and spread across the whole pan. Put the cookie and caramel into the freezer and let it freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Once caramel is set, in a microwave safe bowl put the coconut oil and chocolate into the microwave and mix at 30 second intervals until chocolate is completely melted.
Add the chocolate layer to the pan, and freeze for at least another 30 minutes.
Take out, slice, and enjoy!
