Healthy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bark (Vegan, GF, Paleo)

This delicious and easy recipe for home made Twix Bark will tickle all of your senses.

I have a sweet tooth. Yes, me, the health coach. I admit it. I always have. When I started my journey into health awareness over 7 years ago, I made a commitment to myself to not deprive myself, but rather make everything that I ate be of nutritional value. It started me on a journey of discovering new and healthy ways to recreate my naught favorites.

This recipe is akin to this journey.

So, let’s begin the adventure on how this delicious dessert is made.

I was surprised at how EASY this was to make. The recipe preparation took me no more than 15 minutes, and the cooling process no more than 30 minutes.

With my little one, I expect to be reinventing even more desserts in the future. I want to pass down the tradition of making and baking healthy goodies, so that it becomes a tradition.

When I was growing up, there were no healthy alternatives for candy. There was simply candy. I want to let my kids know that there are always healthy alternatives. I want it to be FUN for them to find and make these treats.

I feel a little bad for sending photos of these delectable creations to my friends and family. They all wanted an order immediately. The only downside (And upside) is that they need to stay refrigerated, so sharing these with not so near by neighbors, isn’t so easy.

This recipe only needs 6 ingredients! We mix-match them in various ways for the 3 layers.

I know that you will just LOVE this Twix Bark. If you are looking for more recipes and ideas on how to improve your health, message me at explorationsofself@gmail.com for a free health consult to begin your journey into health, happiness, and whole living.

Serves: about 16 bars

Ingredients:

For the crust

•⅔ cup coconut flour

•¼ teaspoon himalayan salt

•3 tablespoons pure maple syrup

•⅓ cup coconut oil, solid

For the caramel filling

•½ cup creamy nut butter of choice

•⅓ cup pure maple syrup

•⅓ cup coconut oil, melted

For the chocolate topping

•¼ cup coconut oil, melted

Directions

1.Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 14×5” tart pan or 8×8” square pan with coconut oil

2.Combine coconut flour and salt in a bowl. Add the maple syrup and stir until fully combined and crumbly. Add the room temperature coconut oil and mix until a large dough ball forms, pressing out any clumps of coconut oil. I used my hands at the end to bring the dough fully together.

3.Press the dough into the prepared pan. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Let cool completely.

4.For the filling, combine all of the ingredients in a small saucepan and heat until all of the ingredients are melted and throughly combined. Pour over the crust and let cool in the refrigerator until set before topping with chocolate layer.

5.For the chocolate topping, whisk together all of the ingredients and pour over the cooled caramel layer. Smooth evenly and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Let cool until set. Slice into 1-inch slices, or 16 squares. Keep stored in the refrigerator.

Bon appetit!
