I love easy no-bake snacks, like my Samoa Bars, No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bars, or No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars. But today, I wanted to find again the taste of Twix bars in a plant-based and healthier alternative. Twix are simple treats that are made with 3 different layers. A base, slightly crusty batter topped with creamy caramel and covered with chocolate. Making this at home is much easier than you think and can be done with just a handful of healthy ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry!
Ingredients and Substitutions
Here’s how to pick key ingredients and possible substitutions.
Peanut Butter: Choose natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oils. Stir well before measuring to incorporate the natural oils. You can also use almond butter or sunflower seed butter. Maple Syrup: Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor and natural sweetness. Avoid artificially flavored syrups. You can also use coconut nectar or agave syrup. Almond Flour: Select finely ground almond flour for a smooth base layer. Avoid packing the flour in the cup to prevent dense bars. If you don’t have any, you can use more oat flour. Oat flour is safe raw. Oat Flour: Use finely ground oat flour or make your own by blending rolled oats until fine. Sweep off excess flour from the cup for accurate measuring. Chocolate Chips: Choose high-quality dark chocolate chips with a high cocoa content (70% or more) for a rich, intense chocolate flavor. Coconut Oil: You can’t swap it for any other oil. The only potential alternative (though I haven’t tried it) is cocoa butter. You need something that solidifies at room temperature.
