I actually failed the first time making these! Yes, I don’t succeed the first time every time and the first batch was a total #fail!
The cookie layer was really what was a flop….but then I thought “hmmm, why not just use the same recipe for my 4 Ingredient Carb Free Cookies as the base?” and tada! These bad boys were born!
The “caramel” was a win the first go around, so I saved it and make the successful cookie layer the next day. This honestly isn’t hard to create at all, there are just a lot of (easy) steps.
They actually taste exactly like the original chemical filled twix! Haha (but these babies are H-E-A-L-T-H-Y!)
Curious about the ingredient sin the original Twix bars?

Makes 4 Extra Large Bars or many mini ones!
Cookie Layer:
1 recipe of my 4 Ingredient Carb Free Cookies (minus the chocolate chips)
Caramel Layer:
– 1 cup medjool dates, soaked in warm water for 20 minutes, drained
– 1 Tbsp organic Sunbutter
– 1 Tbsp coconut butter (I used Eating Evolved roasted unsweetened version but you can also use raw like Artisana)
– 1 tsp sea salt
Coating:
– Santa Barbara Chocolate’s pure 100% no sugar organic chocolate chips (15% off: lilsipper15)
Directions:
1. Boil water and allow dates to soak while preparing your cookie layer.
-
Follow cookie layer recipe but instead of baking into individual circles, form into a square and bake. Allow to cool in freezer while preparing the caramel.
-
Drain water from dates and blend with Sunbutter, coconut butter, and sea salt until smooth (the smaller the blender the better – like a Bullet Blender, I used my Blendtec Twister Jar – 20% off: lilsipper)
-
Remove cookie layer from freezer and spread caramel evenly over cookie and place back in freezer while you melt the chocolate.
-
Remove cookie caramel square from freezer and slice into desired shapes and size, then coat with melted chocolate. Store in fridge or freezer.
