Healthy Twix Bars
A crunchy biscuit layer topped with a simple caramel filling, all dipped in lush dark chocolate. This is my healthier take on the very much loved Twix bar! They're so easy to make and taste amazing too.
Ingredients
For the base
- 70g ground oats (see notes)
- 50g ground almonds
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 3.5 tbsp coconut oil melted
For the caramel filling
- 140g soft dates (see notes)
- 4 tbsp tahini (see notes)
- 1-2 tbsp milk of choice (see notes)
- Pinch of salt
For the chocolate coating
- 150g dark chocolate melted
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the oat flour, ground almonds and salt, then pour in the maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Mix to combine.
- Press the mixture in a loaf tin lined with baking paper – I used a 22×12 cm loaf tin. Transfer to the freezer while you make the caramel.
- Add all the caramel ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Spread the caramel over the biscuit layer and freeze again for 1-2 hours.
- Slice into 10 bars, then dip each into the melted chocolate. Gently place on a chopping board lined with baking paper and chill in the fridge for a few minutes until the chocolate is set.
Notes
Plain rolled oats blended into a find flour in a high-speed blender. Use gluten-free oats to make the recipe gluten-free.
I find soft dates like Medjool dates work best as they're easier to blend.
You can also use nut butters.
The amount of milk will depend on how soft your dates are. Start off with 1 tbsp, then add more if needed until you have a smooth paste.
