Ingredients This recipe if definitely a keeper. I just replaced maple syrup for brown swerve and added extra oil and they were amazing!
For the shortbread base:
1 ½ cups packed fine blanched almond flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill)
3 tablespoons melted and cooled coconut oil
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
For the peanut butter layer:
⅔ cup drippy natural peanut butter (crunchy or creamy works)
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
For the chocolate layer:
3/4 cup chocolate chips, dairy free if desired
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8 inch square pan with parchment paper. It’s important to use an 8x8 inch as a 9x9 inch pan may be too big.
In a medium bowl add the almond flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt. Mix together with a fork until it forms a nice thick crumb texture. Add to pan and use your fingers to evenly press down into the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow crust to cool for 10 minutes before adding caramel.
Next make the peanut butter caramel layer: Add the peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla extract and sea salt to a medium pot and place over medium-low heat for approximately 2 minutes until caramel starts to slightly bubble, stirring frequently. Pour over slightly cooled crust.
Place in fridge for at least 30 minutes-1 hour to completely harden the peanut butter. It shouldn't take longer than this, but if you are impatient, just place in freezer for 15-20 minutes, this should speed up the process.
After 30 minutes or so, make the chocolate layer: Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high in 30 second increments, stirring in between until chocolate is completely melted. If you prefer, you can also melt the chocolate and coconut oil in small saucepan over low heat.
Pour over the caramel layer and tilt pan side-to-side to evenly distribute the melted chocolate. Place in fridge for at least 20 minutes until chocolate is completely hardened and bars are cooled.
Remove bars from pan and cut into 16 bars (that resemble twix bars). To do this, cut entire pan of bars in half, and then cut each half into 8 (1-inch) bars (not squares!), so you’ll end up with 16 bars. Enjoy! Bars should be kept covered in the fridge until ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
These healthy peanut butter twix bars should be kept covered in the fridge until you're ready to serve them. They will stay good in your fridge for about 1 week, but you can also keep them in a freezer-safe container in your freezer for up to 1 month.

Can I replace maple syrup with something keto friendly?
Maple Syrup is the least of your worries compared to Coconut Oil.
Yes I added monkfruit powder and extra oil to compensate for the liquidness and it worked.
Ty
I love this recipe. I've made this twice to rave reviews. Unfortunately, i need to reduce saturated fat in my diet. Is there anyway to reduce the amount of coconut oil used throughout?
Hi! So glad you love it :) I haven't tested it with less coconut oil or any subs, sorry!
YUM
Hi, can i use coconut flour instead?
Delicious for a vegan or gf.
And for anyone haha! I bet no one would be able to tell they're vegan or GF!
@ambitiouskitchen how do you make natural creamy peanut butter
I buy it! you just want to look for a peanut butter containing only peanuts + salt :)
How many calories just for one of these? 🤔
I had a look on her website & it said there is 220 calories for 1 bar. I googled it & a Twix 2 bar pack is 250 calories. I didn't compare everything else but from what I saw they don't seem healthier.
🤤🤤🤤
I'm sorry but they are not healthy
A healthy substitute, a sweet snack, are you the food police?
Stopped watching after you added Coconut Oil.
Why? Are you allergic?
@@kessa9755 No, I just don't see the point of using it when EVO has 5 times less saturated fat.
Use it make unsweetened applesauce to replace
Coconut oil is a good fat, we want that, not Canola oil or margarine
