The healthy kind of Twix Bars! These Twix Bars have a vanilla cashew base, and a gooey date and peanut butter caramel, dipped in raw chocolate. I was quite surprised, because these are actually really, really good, I’d actually say better than the real thing ;).

 

This is how you layer the Twix Bar: first you spread the cashew base in a baking tin. Then you spread the caramel layer over the cashew base. Freeze this for an hour or until hardened, and dip them in the raw chocolate, carefully though, because they can thaw a bit and because soft.
