Triple Bliss Caramel-Chocolate Bars

Inspired by the ever-popular Twix candy bar, these cookies capture the super-satisfying combination of a crumbly base topped with layers of salted caramel and sweet chocolate. As you might have guessed, they are made of anything but candy…but still taste a lot like the real thing! They also freeze beautifully, making them the perfect addition to your backup dessert stash.

Yields 16 bars

• 2 cups Rorie’s Grain-Free Flour (see note)
• ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
• ⅓ cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Caramel Layer

• ½ cup unsweetened creamy almond butter
• ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
• ⅓ cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp sea salt (if nut butter isn’t salted)

Chocolate Layer

• 9 oz good-quality 50–72% dark chocolate chips (see note)
• 2 Tbsp coconut oil

Prepare the cookie base: Preheat oven to 350°F; line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Mix until well combined and a soft dough forms.

Press dough into prepared pan; bake for 11–13 minutes, or until sides are slightly brown. Let cool in the pan while preparing the next layer.
