Ingredients
  

Biscuits
  • 1 cup wholemeal spelt flour
  • ½ cup tigernut flour
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ cup coconut oil cold
  • ½ tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 pinch salt
  • ice-cold water
Date Caramel
  • 150 g pitted dates soft
  • 150 g coconut milk full fat from the can
  • 20 g agave syrup
  • 1 tsp salt
Chocolate Coating
  • 200 g dark chocolate 70% or more
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil

Method
 

Biscuits
  1. Put flour, tigernut, salt and sugar to a bowl and give it a whisk. Add cold coconut oil and vanilla essence. Knead to create a crumbling texture. Add ice-cold water 1 tbsp at a time to get a smooth ball of dough resembling pie-crust dough.
  2. Flour some clean surface or use a sheet of parchment paper. Put a ball of dough onto it and roll it out. Try to roll it out into a rectangular shape, although you won't be able to make a perfect rectangle. Make it 3-5 mm thick.
  3. Cut that into stripes that are about 1.5 cm wide and 8 cm long. Then gently move them to a baking try lined with parchment paper. Make sure they're not touching each other.
  4. Bake them at 180°C for about 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, you want them slightly brown on the edges.
  5. Once baked, move them to a rack and let them cool down completely. I leave them over-night, but 2-3 hours should do.
Date Caramel
  1. Put all of the ingredients into a blender.
  2. Make sure you get a smooth blend, it should take a few minutes so be patient.
  3. Move it to a glass jar and put it to the fridge for a few hours.
Chocolate Coating
  1. Melt chocolate with coconut oil over steam bath right before coating your twix bars.
Putting bars together
  1. Once biscuits and caramel are all cooled down and ready to use, it's time to make the final twix! Take a knife and spread some caramel on the biscuit - one by one. I like it a bit thicker, but you can do your own thing the way you like it best.
  2. In the meantime, melt chocolate and coconut oil over steam bath.
  3. After all the biscuits are covered in caramel, take melted chocolate and a spoon. Make sure twix bars are still on the cooling rack, slightly lifted up. Now cover your bars with chocolate.
  4. I like them obviously homemade with some chocolate dripping down the sides and such. It's up to you to make them the way you want them.
  5. I highly recommend you put them in the freezer after about 15 minutes when the excess chocolate drips off. They will be amazing. The fridge should be okay as well, but it won't cool them down as quickly as the freezer. They are also amazing when super cold.
