Protein Twix Bars (Edit recipe)

One of those treats that seems too good to be true! These Twix bars are no bake, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar free, with a protein boost, too! And that caramel?! It's got the most irresistible ooey gooey caramel filling! I used my favorite clean ingredient protein powder from Just Ingredients here. It's nourishing and it gives the best taste in my healthier treats! Code colleenF10 saves you sitewide on her protein powder flavors

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Combine shortbread ingredients together, then press down into an 8x8 dish lined with parchment paper. Place in the freezer while you make the caramel
Mix together drippy nut butter, syrup, vanilla, coconut oil, and collagen until smooth
Pour overtop shortbread layer and freeze for 1hr+
Melt chocolate and coconut oil. You will have extra, but you want enough to dunk your bars to fully coat
Slice your Twix bars in 10 bars or 20 squares
Dip in chocolate, dab to allow excess to drip off, then place on parchment paper
Optionally sprinkle with flakey sea salt
Place in the fridge for an addition 10 min for chocolate to harden
Enjoy!
Store in the fridge

Notes

You can place unused chocolate in the fridge to use for your next recipe! You'll have extra. Alternatively, you can drizzle chocolate just overtop the bars instead of dunking to fully coat them Can replace vanilla protein powder with oat flour can omit collagen for caramel if you prefer. It does add to the gooeyness, but the recipe will work fine without it
