Description
A healthier take on the classic Twix candy, these cups feature a crunchy almond butter base, a homemade caramel layer, and a rich dark chocolate topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup medjool dates, pitted
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a bowl, mix almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt until crumbly.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of each muffin cup to form the crust.
- Bake crusts for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and cool.
- In a food processor, blend dates, almond butter, coconut milk, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth to make caramel.
- Spread caramel evenly over cooled crusts and freeze for 15 minutes to set.
- Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour melted chocolate over caramel layer and refrigerate for 30 minutes until set.
- Remove from muffin liners and serve chilled.
Notes
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for best flavor.
- Medjool dates create a naturally sweet caramel alternative.
- Store in the refrigerator to keep cups firm.
