In honor of my best friend, Joanna, getting engaged,
I made one of her favorite treats (and obviously)
healthified them!
Another #healthybride to join the club – wahoo!!
Healthified Dark Chocolate Twix Bars
Ingredients:
For the cookies:
1/2 cup raw cashew butter
1 tbsp raw honey
1 tbsp coconut flour
pinch of sea salt
For the caramel filling:
3/4 cup soft Medjool dates (about 9 dates)
2 tbsp raw cashew butter
pinch of sea salt
1/4 cup water
For the chocolate coating:
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tsp coconut oil
1. Combine the cashew butter, honey, coconut flour and salt in a bowl, and mix well until a thick batter is formed.
2. Transfer the batter to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and use your hands to form a rectangular shape about 1/2-inch thick. Place the pan in the freezer to set while you prepare the caramel filling.
3. In a high-speed blender, combine the dates, cashew butter, salt and water. Blend until well combined. (You may need to stop and scrape down the blender a couple of times, to make sure everything is blended evenly.)
4. Remove the cookie layer from the freezer, and top with the caramel filling.
*Note: You may not need all of the caramel filling, so feel free to reserve any leftovers as a dip for fresh apple slices.
5. Place the caramel topped cookie layer back in the freezer to firm up for at least 20 minutes.
6. To prepare the chocolate coating, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in pot on low heat and mix until melted.
7. Remove the caramel topped cookie from the freezer, and use a large knife to cut the cookie layer into 10 thin bars.
8. Use a spoon or spatula to spread the melted chocolate over the top, sides and bottoms of each bar, then return the chocolate coated bars to the parchment lined pan to set. Once all of the bars have been coated, place the pan back in the freezer for at least 20 minutes before serving.
9. Voila! Enjoy!!
