Think Twix meets millionaire's bar, but with almond butter! With a shortbread base, almond butter caramel center, and salty chocolate topping, these are absolutely DANGEROUS.. in the best way! Refined sugar-free, vegan, and paleo!

Ingredients

base

• 2 cups almond flour
• 2 tbsp coconut four (or tapioca flour)
• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla + pinch of sea salt

Caramel filling

• 1/2 cup almond butter
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• pinch of sea salt (if your nut butter isn't salted)
• 1 tsp maca (optional)

Top

• 1 cup chocolate of choice
• 1 tsp coconut oil (if needed, to thin)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Combine all the base ingredients until a dough forms. Press into a lined loaf pan. Bake for 12-14 mins, until golden around the edges. Let Cool.
3. Make the filling by whisking everything together until smooth. Pour over the base, spreading it around evenly. Pop in the freezer for 30min-1hr until it sets up enough to pour the chocolate over top.
4. Melt the chocolate and oil together and pour over the top of the caramel layer, tilting the pan to cover the top. Place back in the freezer for at least 2 hrs, before cutting into bars. Enjoy!
5. *Note: Store in an air-tight container in the freezer. Let thaw a few minutes before enjoying!
