Keto Twix Bars
A dark chocolate "Twix" bar to satisfy that craving for the candy. Can substitute with milk chocolate for the classic version.
Ingredients
Cookie Bars
- 1.5 cup almond flour
- 4 oz butter melted
- 1 tbsp granulated sweetener @lakantosweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Caramel
- 1/3 cup granulated sweetener @lakantosweetener
- 1/3 cup Xylitol
- 6 oz heavy cream
- 5 oz butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
Chocolate coating
- 20 oz Lily's Sweet Chocolate Dark Chocolate Baking Bars
Instructions
Cookie Bars
- Mix all ingredients and knead until smooth. Press into rectangular 1/2 inch dough (length should be the size of candy bar). Refrigerate for an hour.
- Cut dough into 8 candy bar sized cookies. Using the tip of a fork, lightly prick several holes on the top of the dough.
- Bake at 350F for 10 minutes. Let cool completely.
Caramel
- Combine 4 oz of the butter with the sweetener and cream over medium heat. Stir until sweetener is dissolved.
- Add the vanilla.
- Cook until it is a deep golden brown (about 20 min). As soon as it reaches that deep color (right before burning) remove from the heat and immediately add the additional 1 oz butter and salt. Stir until smooth and cool for 10 minutes.
- Pour caramel onto parchment paper, and cool in fridge for about 30 minutes.
Assemble Candy Bars
- Cut caramel into cookie sized strips and place on top of cookies.
- Melt chocolate using a double broiler method, until smooth.
- Over a cooling rack, pour melted chocolate on top of bars. Reserve extra chocolate. Cool in fridge till set.
- Remove bars from rack (I used a little heat to release the bottom), and dip the bottom of bars in re-warmed reserved chocolate. Return to fridge till fully set.
