One day, I saw a post about how I could make “homemade” twix bars. Being one of my favorite sweets as a child, and since I no longer eat them (as I stopped eating refined sugar a few years ago) I opened it to see how that was possible! My disappointment gradually grew as I kept reading that I should use “homemade” sugar, “homemade” margarine, “homemade” white flour and so on… Why bother make something totally unhealthy when it’s delicious and already available in the store???!!! Together with my disappointment though, my eagerness to find a way to eat healthy twix bars grew as well! Off we go on the hunt for a delicious healthy twix bars recipe!
I experimented and tried many recipes. I found THE one. I substituted some of the ingredients with the ones I use the most and slightly changed the ratios to adjust them to my liking… And so I present you with the absolutely delicious recipe, of HOMEMADE vegan twix bars, which all my family and friends love very much.
Recipe based on the original “HOMEMADE TWIX BARS” By Ashley Melillo. Thank you Ashley!
Ingredients
FOR THE SHORTBREAD CRUST |

190gr quick cooking oats | |
75gr cocconut flour | |
80gr melted odourless coconut oil | |
145gr agave syrup | |
2/3 tsp vanilla bean powder | |
FOR THE CARAMEL LAYER |

200gr almond butter | |
220gr agave syrup | |
60gr melted odourless coconut oil | |

Steps
1
Done
|
FOR THE SHORTBREAD CRUSTGrind the oat flakes in your food processor to get oat flour (use the S blade). |
2
Done
|
Add the coconut flour and vanilla and beat again. |
3
Done
|
Add the coconut oil and agave syrup and beat once more till you see it turning into a dough. |
4
Done
|
Take a shallow baking tin (22x30cm or similar) and cover the bottom with parchment paper. Spread your dough evenly to cover the surface. |
5
Done
|
Use a fork to make small holes here and there to prevent it from rising too much and let vent during baking. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius for about 12-15 mins till it turns golden brown. Let it cool completely before you pour the caramel. |
6
Done
|
FOR THE CARAMEL LAYERWhisk all ingredients in a bowl, then pour the mixture on the shortbread crust. Place in the freezer for about 30mins, till the caramel sets. You don't want it to freeze completely because the chocolate won't stick to it and when you try to cut your bars, it will come off. But you want it set so as not to mix with the chocolate when you pour it on top. |

Done

CUTTING THE BARSThe only slightly hard part is cutting the bars. You may need to ask the help of a man here, because it requires some strenght! Use a big and sharp knife and cut as you wish, I usually cut them as shown in the picture. I use a cutting board and cut vertically, don't cut it like bread, moving the knife back and forth, it will not work. You just need to press hard to cut the crust. You can use a folded towel where you place your palm to press, like I do, it's easier. |
Extra Tips
- Make sure your tin is in horizontal position when you place it in the freezer to prevent the caramel or chocolate from going to one end.
