Twix Cups (makes 24 minis)

Shortbread

Caramel

  • 1/4 cup (65g) nut/seed butter
  • 1/4 cup (80g) maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp (25g) coconut oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin pan with 24 paper liners.
  2. Combine all of the shortbread ingredients in a bowl and mix to form a dough. Spoon and firmly press a small bit of dough (about 2 tsp) into each muffin cup.
  3. Bake for 8 minutes at 350°F, the edges should be lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
  4. Whisk together the caramel ingredients. Spoon about 1 tablespoon on top of each shortbread crust. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  5. Heat the heavy coconut cream for one minute on high. Pour over top of the chocolate in a bowl, and rest for five minutes. Then stir until melted and smooth.
  6. Spoon a layer of chocolate on top of each caramel layer, spreading to cover completely.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or freeze for at least 1).
  8. Keep in the refrigerator for a softer/gooeier experience, or freeze for more of a firmer bite.
