These Protein Twix Bars are a healthier twist on the classic candy bar, combining a nutty almond flour shortbread base with a creamy peanut butter caramel layer, all coated in rich dark chocolate. Packed with protein from collagen and protein powder, they make a perfect nutritious snack or dessert that satisfies your sweet tooth without the guilt.

Ingredients

Scale

Shortbread

  • 2 cups Almond Flour
  • 1/2 cup Vanilla Protein Powder (or oat flour)
  • 1/4 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Oil, melted

Caramel

  • 2/3 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (or cashew butter)
  • 1/3 cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil, melted
  • 2 whole scoops Collagen Powder
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Coating

  • 2 cups Dark Chocolate
  • 2 tsp Coconut Oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Shortbread Base: Combine almond flour, vanilla protein powder (or oat flour), pure maple syrup, and melted coconut oil in a bowl until the mixture forms a dough. Press this evenly into an 8×8 inch dish lined with parchment paper. Place the dish in the freezer to firm up while you prepare the caramel layer.
  2. Make Caramel Layer: In a separate bowl, mix creamy peanut butter, pure maple syrup, melted coconut oil, collagen powder, and pure vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Pour this caramel mixture over the frozen shortbread base and spread evenly. Return the dish to the freezer for at least 1 hour to set.
  3. Melt Chocolate Coating: Gently melt the dark chocolate together with the coconut oil using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth. You want enough chocolate to fully coat the bars.
  4. Slice Bars: Remove the set layers from the freezer and cut into 10 bars or 20 smaller squares, depending on your preferred size.
  5. Dip in Chocolate: Dip each bar or square into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated bars on parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle with flaky sea salt for added flavor.
  6. Set Coating: Place the coated bars in the fridge for about 10 minutes to let the chocolate harden completely.
  7. Enjoy & Store: Once set, enjoy your protein-packed Twix bars! Store any leftovers in the fridge to keep fresh and firm.

Notes

  • You can substitute oat flour for protein powder if preferred.
  • If you want a nut-free option, use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut or cashew butter.
  • Keep the bars refrigerated to maintain texture and freshness.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based collagen alternatives or omit collagen powder completely.
  • Flaky sea salt on top enhances the flavor by balancing sweetness with a subtle salty touch.
