How to make a copycat Twix peanut cookie bar.

Cookie base layer.

1. Preheat your oven to 350. Prep a square pan (8 X 8) with parchment paper that also overhangs the edges.
2. In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or a whisk to combine together the almond and coconut flours. Then pour half of the melted coconut oil over the mix and work the ingredients into a dough. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan and evenly press it into place. Next, use a fork to poke a few holes in the dough and then bake the dough for 10-12 minutes or until it turns golden. Allow the shortbread layer to cool to room temperature (15-20 minutes).

Peanut Butter Layer.

1. For the peanut butter layer, first mix together your sugar free maple syrup, peanut butter, and remaining coconut oil until creamy. Then pour this over the shortbread and evenly spread the peanut butter mixture over the entire layer of shortbread. Place this into your refrigerator until hardened (however, about five hours) or freezer (about an hour or so).
2. Once the bars are set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the bars from the baking dish and place the bars on a flat surface. Use a knife, rocker style pizza cutter, or similar utensil to first cut the cookies into bars. Then, to make 16 bars, cut the shortbread and half and repeat this process cutting each of the halves until as a result, you have 16 bars.
3. Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Then melt the chocolate according to the directions on the packaging and then stir in the oil. Next, use a fork or spoon to dip each of the bars into the chocolate and then lastly, place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Lastly, sprinkle the salt on top and refrigerate or freeze the bars until set as a result.

Tips for making the best Twix peanut butter bar.

It is important that your oven gets to the correct temperature before baking the cookie portion of this recipe. For this reason you should allow the oven to preheat for at least 10 minutes.

More helpful tips for you.

2. Sugar free creamy peanut butter works best in this recipe. You could use an alternative sugar free nut butter instead.
3. The filling in my bars uses sugar free maple syrup. You could however use the liquid sugar alternative of your choice or actual maple syrup, making adjustments as needed.

How to store peanut butter bars.

Once the chocolate has fully set, these bars should be stored in an airtight container. When properly stored, the bars should keep for up to a couple of days at room temperature, refrigerated for up to a couple of weeks or frozen for up to a few months.
