How to make peanut butter Twix bars
Make The Shortbread Base: In a bowl, combine the almond flour, honey, cornstarch, coconut oil, and vanilla and mix until they form a thick texture. Pour out onto a square pan lined with parchment paper and use a spatula to spread into one, even layer.
Almond Flour: Use packed, blanched almond flour with a fine texture. Cornstarch Honey: To make this recipe completely vegan, use maple syrup or agave, or make your own vegan-friendly honey. Coconut Oil Vanilla Extract
For The Caramel Layer
Dates: Pitted, larger dates are best. Vanilla Extract Peanut Butter: Opt for creamy peanut butter that has a thinner, pourable consistency. You can make your own or use your favorite. Salt
And For The Chocolate Topping
Cocoa Powder Coconut Oil
Bake in the oven at 325ºF/170ºC (fan assisted) for 10-15 minutes, until a light golden color. Remove from the oven and leave to cool. Make The Caramel: If your dates are dried, soak them for 10-15 minutes in hot water before using. Then, add the dates, vanilla extract, peanut butter, and salt to a food processor and blend until a smooth and creamy caramel has formed. Spread the caramel over the biscuit base first layer and freeze for 30-45 minutes until hard. Remove the base from the tin and cut it in even pieces, then return to the freezer for 10-15 minutes more. Assemble The Peanut Butter Twix Bars: Melt the coconut oil and mix with the cocoa powder, making sure there are no lumps. Next, using a fork, dip each peanut butter bar into the chocolate mixture, then freeze for 10-15 minutes. Repeat a second time and set for a further 10-15 minutes, then enjoy.
