Here is a fun sugar-free, healthier twix bar that I know your family will love.
First off I’ll say this…your healthy twix bars do not need to be sugar free like these ones are. You can make them with pure maple syrup and any chocolate of choice (milk or dark). But we’ll get to the recipe in a second!
Do you love chocolate bars as much as I do??
I have two food loves, dark chocolate and dark coffee.
Something I absolutely love to do is make treats for my family. If I have guests, I will get the baking in and the coffee on and let the aroma fill the house and I get so much joy when I see the look on everyone’s eyes when they see the final product being placed before them to bite.
If you’re anything like me, chocolate bars were where the allowance went. Well…Chocolate and Tiger Beat Magazines. I would save all week to then hop on my bike with my friends and peddle to the local market where I took forever to decide which chocolate bar would be my treat.
I was always deciding between a twix, kitkat, junior mints or mars.
Today I love chocolate and coffee. Back then it was chocolate and heartthrobs!
I haven’t had a milk chocolate candy bar like I used to in years. Ever since I overhauled my health and wellness, I make most of my treats or stick to healthy bars. The twix knock off I am sharing with with you today is made with good ingredients and I made them sugar free!
Isn’t it amazing you can still have chocolate bars and not feel like you have to sacrifice your health goals!
These “Healthy Twix Bars” are fun to make and really fun to eat!
Healthy Twix Bars:
Base:
1 Cup Oat Flour (Or Almond Flour)
2/3 Cup Coconut Flour
1/3 Cup Sugar Free Syrup (or Real Maple Syrup)
1/4 Cup Melted Coconut Oil
Caramel:
1/3 Cup Peanut Butter (or Almond Butter / Sunflower Seed Butter)
1/2 Cup Syrup
1 tsp Coconut Oil
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
Chocolate:
1 1/2 Cup Lily’s Dark Chocolate Chips (or Any Chocolate of Choice)
1 Tbsp Coconut Oil
How to Make Your Healthy Twix Bars:
Preheat your oven to 3745.
Mix the dry ingredients together and add in the wet and mix together.
Pat the twix base ingredients into a parchment lined loaf pan.
Bake for 18-20 minutes (check to see if it is starting to brown on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool.
In a small sauce pan, heat up the peanut butter, syrup and coconut oil until it is well combined and runny like caramel!
Pour the caramel mixture onto the base (still in the loaf pan) and spread it evenly.
Place the pan into the freezer and freeze for 4 hours.
Once the base and caramel are frozen (after the 4 hours), remove from the loaf pan and cut into 10 bars.
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil (I did this on the stove on low) and use a fork to dip each bar into the chocolate and coat. Place the bars on a cooling rack with parchment under it as it gets messy!
Drizzle chocolate onto any pieces that did not get coated.
Place in the fridge for 2-30 minute and enjoy!
* NOTE: Some might break when you dip them in the chocolate. That’s ok! Enjoy the pieces big or small.
You can always cut the 10 bars in half before dipping to make them “mini Healthy Twix Bars” 😉
My husband and daughter really enjoyed these Healthy Twix Bars and next time I will try them with pure maple syrup.
