Ingredients And Substitutions
These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Healthy Twix Bars. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.
The base of these healthy twix bars are made with almond flour which is grain and gluten free. You may also use oat flour if preferred, but I have not tested this recipe with any other flour substitutes.
Maple syrup helps bind the ingredients together to create the shortbread. You may also use agave, honey or date syrup.
The shortbread layer is only a few ingredients, so adding in a touch of vanilla extract really adds a ton of flavor.
The caramel layer is made with soaked and blended dates.
Dip these twix bars in your favorite dark or milk chocolate. To keep this recipe fully vegan, and dairy free be sure to use the appropriate chocolate.

How To Make
ONE: Start by making the shortbread layer by combining the almond flour, maple syrup and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl. Once a dough is formed, roll it into a ball and place it between two pieces of parchment paper.


TWO: Roll the dough out until it’s about 1/4″-1/2″ thick. Use a pizza cutter to cut out your equal sized twix bars and place on a baking sheet that’s lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

THREE: While the shortbread is baking, make the date caramel to go on top. Blend soaked dates in a blender or food processor for 3-5 minutes until it’s completely broken down and smooth and creamy.


FOUR: Add a thick layers of the date caramel to the baked and cooled twix bars. Place in the freezer to harden for about 30 minutes to 1 hour. When ready, dip in melted chocolate and place back in the freezer to harden once more. ENJOY!!


Tips And Tricks
Repeat rolling and cutting the shortbread dough until you have about 8-9 twix bars.
Be sure to roll in between two pieces of parchment paper to prevent the dough from sticking to your rolling pin.
Bake at 250F so ensure the shortbread is crispy and cooked all the way through without burning.
You know the shortbread is done when it’s firm to the touch and golden brown on the edges.
Use a food processor to make the date caramel for best results, you can also use a highspeed blender if needed.
If your caramel isn’t breaking down, try adding in a splash of water or vanilla extract for more flavor. Be sure to stop and scrape down the sides as needed.
Add in a touch of coconut oil to melt the chocolate.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments with coconut oil. Stop and stir the chocolate each time.
