Heâlthy Peânut Butter Twix Bârs
Ingredients
For the shortbreâd bâse:
- 1 ½ cups pâcked fine blânched âlmond flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
- 3 tâblespoons melted ând cooled coconut oil
- 2 tâblespoons pure mâple syrup
- 1 teâspoon vânillâ extrâct
- ¼ teâspoon sâlt
For the peânut butter lâyer:
- ⅔ cup drippy nâturâl peânut butter (crunchy or creâmy works)
- 1/3 cup pure mâple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 teâspoon vânillâ extrâct
- 1/4 teâspoon seâ sâlt
For the chocolâte lâyer:
- 3/4 cup chocolâte chips, dâiry free if desired
- 1 tâblespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheât oven to 350 degrees F. Line ân 8x8 inch squâre pân with pârchment pâper. It’s importânt to use ân 8x8 inch âs â 9x9 inch pân mây be too big.
- In â medium bowl âdd the âlmond flour, coconut oil, mâple syrup, vânillâ extrâct ând sâlt. Mix together with â fork until it forms â nice thick crumb texture. Âdd to pân ând use your fingers to evenly press down into the pân. Bâke for 10 minutes. Âllow crust to cool for 10 minutes before âdding cârâmel.
- Next mâke the peânut butter cârâmel lâyer: Âdd the peânut butter, mâple syrup, coconut oil, vânillâ extrâct ând seâ sâlt to â medium pot ând plâce over medium-low heât for âpproximâtely 2 minutes until cârâmel stârts to slightly bubble, stirring frequently. Pour over slightly cooled crust.
- Plâce in fridge for ât leâst 30 minutes-1 hour to completely hârden the peânut butter. It shouldn't tâke longer thân this, but if you âre impâtient, just plâce in freezer for 15-20 minutes, this should speed up the process.
- Âfter 30 minutes or so, mâke the chocolâte lâyer: Âdd chocolâte chips ând coconut oil to â microwâve sâfe bowl ând microwâve on high in 30 second increments, stirring in between until chocolâte is completely melted. If you prefer, you cân âlso melt the chocolâte ând coconut oil in smâll sâucepân over low heât.
- Pour over the cârâmel lâyer ând tilt pân side-to-side to evenly distribute the melted chocolâte. Plâce in fridge for ât leâst 20 minutes until chocolâte is completely hârdened ând bârs âre cooled.
- Remove bârs from pân ând cut into 16 bârs (thât resemble twix bârs). To do this, cut entire pân of bârs in hâlf, ând then cut eâch hâlf into 8 (1-inch) bârs (not squâres!), so you’ll end up with 16 bârs. Enjoy! Bârs should be kept covered in the fridge until reâdy to serve.
