Going Paleo can be tough if you like sweets. Candy bars are high in sugar and low in nutrients. If you’ve got a craving for one, however, you may be tempted to cave.

Don’t do it just yet. Instead, try making one yourself with Paleo-approved ingredients. This Twix bar recipe uses a coconut flour shortbread, and has a creamy caramel sauce sandwiched between the cookie and chocolate. Just like the real thing. And it’s much better for you.

Paleo Twix Bar

Recipe by: Amy Hunter

This Twix bar recipe has a creamy caramel sauce sandwiched between a coconut flour shortbread cookie and chocolate.

Ingredients

•  Cookie:
•  1/2 cup coconut flour
•  2 T arrowroot
•  1/4 t sea salt
•  2/3 cup grass-fed butter, melted
•  2 T honey
•  1 t vanilla extract
•  Caramel:
•  1 cup pitted dates, soaked in hot water for 20 minutes, and drained
•  1 t white vinegar
•  1/4 cup full fat coconut milk
•  1 t vanilla extract
•  1 T grass-fed butter, melted
•  Chocolate Sauce:
•  1/4 cup pitted dates, soaked in hot water for 20 minutes, and drained
•  1/2 cup full fat coconut milk
•  1 T cocoa powder

Instructions

•  Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
•  Whisk the coconut flour and arrowroot with the salt in a large bowl. Whisk the butter with the honey and vanilla, and add it to the flour. Stir until fully mixed and you have a thick, wet dough.
•  Pat the dough into a square about 1/2 inch thick on the parchment. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until very light golden brown.
•  While the cookie is baking, make the caramel. Blend the dates, vinegar, coconut milk, vanilla, and butter until a thick paste.
•  When the cookie is done and cooled, spread the caramel on top in an even layer. Transfer the pan to the freezer to firm up.
•  To make the chocolate sauce, put the dates and coconut milk in a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and simmer until thick and smooth. Stir in the cacao powder and stir until mixed in. Allow to cool completely.
•  Remove the cookie from the freezer, and cut into 1-2 inch bars. Cover each with the chocolate sauce and either serve immediately, or refrigerate until firm. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
