If you’re a fan of Twix candy bars, these are for you.
Unlike the store-bought version, these chocolate covered treats are made with just a handful of all-natural ingredients, but taste just as decadent. Even better, they’re quick to prepare!
Featuring raw cashews and fresh dates, these caramel-filled bars are loaded with heart-healthy fat, fiber, and minerals, like copper and magnesium. Magnesium is essential for bone and nerve health, and copper is thought to aid in the flexibility of joints, making these candy bars quite an upgrade from the processed versions!

Ingredients:
For the cookies:

1 tablespoon coconut flour
pinch of salt
For the caramel filling:

To prepare the cookie layer, combine the cashew butter, honey, coconut flour and salt in a bowl, and mix well until a thick batter is formed. 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.
In a high-speed blender, combine the caramel filling ingredients and 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. 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.
Place the caramel topped cookie layer back in the freezer to firm up for at least 20 minutes.
To prepare the chocolate coating, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in an oven-safe bowl, and melt at 350F for about 5 minutes. (Alternatively, you could use a microwave if you prefer.) Remove the caramel topped cookie from the freezer, and use a large knife to cut the cookie layer into 10 thin bars.
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.
Because these bars aren’t baked, the texture will be best when served directly from the freezer. Store in a sealed container in the freezer for up to month or more, if they last that long.

Nutrition
Notes:
- Feel free to use any other type of nut or seed butter to replace the raw cashew butter, if you prefer, keeping in mind that substitutions will alter the flavor.
- If you’d prefer to make your own homemade chocolate coating, rather than using store-bought chocolate chips, I recommend using this recipe.

Reader Feedback: What’s your favorite type of candy or candy bar?
Wow! This sounds great! Just ordered some more cashew butter so I can make this. Twix used to be my favorite, but its been years since I’ve had one. This will be such a nice treat! Thank you so much for creating this recipe!
Just made these to bring to work tomorrow. Added a bit of macca powder to the mix as I thought the nutty flavour would go well with this. They are amazing! thank you!
These look insane!! I love twix, will definitley give this healthier version a try. I didnt know you can eat coconut flour raw.
I’ve never been a fan of anything caramel so if I decided to use homemade peanut butter, do I just replace the cashew butter with peanut butter and keep the rest of the ingredients the same?
Yes, I use peanut butter either in addition to or instead of the cashew butter, and it turns out great with both options.
I normally don’t bother with candy or desserts because they always seem time consuming. These… however… I may have to make an exception for.
These look delicious! Twix are one of my favorite candies- second only to Reese ‘s peanut butter cups!
I’ll have to add this recipe to my list of things to make for Halloween!!!
Thanks for the great recipes- you are brilliant! (Ps I made your almond butter pancakes for a brunch on Sunday and everyone loved them! I’ve been making a lot of your recipes lately and every single one is delicious!)
these would be gone before I could even finish cleaning up the mess in the kitchen….
I LOVE Twix! They are one of the best candy bars ever! As soon as I saw this recipe, while looking for peanut butter balls, I gasped and told my mom, “Detoxinista has TWIX BARS!” I cant wait to try them!
Why chocolate chips is considered healthy? What is the difference between chocolate chips and any other chocolate? My understandings is that chocolate chips are just chocolate or am I wrong?
yum!! these look great
