These beautiful Twix bars have a caramel and shortbread layer, which together will make you want to die of happiness. They are to-die-for, and I am almost not kidding. Even cooler is that they pack a protein punch and are sweetened with Nutrient-Rich Date Syrup!
Ingredients
Shortbread
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp vanilla or plain protein powder
- 3 tbsp Nutrient-Rich Date Syrup
- 3 tbsp melted coconut oil
Caramel
- ⅓ cup creamy peanut butter
- ⅔ cup Nutrient-Rich Date Syrup
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- ¼ cup collagen peptides
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Coating
- 2 cups dark chocolate
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil
Directions
Combine the shortbread ingredients and press the mixture into a bread pan lined with parchment paper. Place the dish in the freezer while preparing the caramel layer.
- In a bowl, mix together the drippy nut butter, syrup, vanilla, coconut oil, and collagen until smooth.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the shortbread layer and freeze for at least 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil. You’ll have extra, but make enough to fully coat the bars.
Cut the set mixture into 14–18 bars.
- Dip each bar or square into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off before placing them on parchment paper.
- Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Freeze for an additional 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
- Enjoy! Store the bars in the fridge.
