This Twix Candy Bar has a perfect crumbly and crunchy texture that resembles the original cookie really well. Easy to make and paleo, vegan, gluten-free.
With Halloween coming up so soon I was determined to develop a recipe for one of my favorite candy bars. I asked myself many times how a Twix Candy can possibly be made paleo and healthier than the original. Well, I have to warn you before you make this because this recipe I developed is very close to the original and is amazingly delicious and almost impossible not to eat the whole batch all at once!
The cookie is made entirely of unprocessed ingredients. It consists mostly of almond meal, arrowroot powder and coconut oil (or butter). It has a perfect crumbly and crunchy texture that resembles the original candy bar's cookie very well.
Each cookie is topped with a homemade caramel sauce that is made purely of raw coconut sugar and coconut milk. Each cookie is then dipped in melted dark chocolate and placed in the fridge until the chocolate hardens. ...amazing, delicious and irresistible!
