Ingredients

Biscuit Base:

Caramel Filling:

  • cup Light Coconut Milk (canned)
  • 56g (¼ cup ) Coconut Oil (melted)
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 252g (¾ cup) Pure Maple Syrup
  • 2 tbs Water
  • 192g (1 cup) Sucanat
  • 96g (½ cup) Granulated Erythritol
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Chocolate Coating:

Instructions

For the Biscuit Base:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Press the crescent roll dough into an unlined, ungreased 8x8" brownie pan.  Bake for ~12 minutes, or until surface is just slightly golden brown. DO NOT OVERBAKE! Let cool in the pan.

For the Caramel Filling:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, coconut oil, and salt.  Set aside.
  • In a 2- or 3-quart saucepan, add the maple syrup, water, sucanat, and erythritol.  Do not stir. Add a candy thermometer to the pan and place over medium-high heat.
  • Without stirring, let the mixture come to a boil.  When it reaches 250 degrees Fahrenheit, whisk in the set aside coconut milk/oil mixture.
  • Let the mixture come to a boil again.  When it reaches 266 degrees Fahrenheit, remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.  Pour over the baked crust and let cool for ~3 hours, then place in the refrigerator to cool and firm up completely.

For the Chocolate Coating:

  • Grease an offset spatula and run it along the edges of the brownie pan to separate the caramel+biscuit layer from the pan, then use pie servers or a pancake turner to transfer the entire block onto a cutting board.
  • With a greased knife, slice the block into 18 bars (I sliced the block 3 x 6 to get 18).  Refrigerate for 1 hour and prepare the Chocolate Coating while the bars chill.
  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and place it in the fridge so that it's cold.
  • When the Chocolate Coating has the consistency of melted dark chocolate, dip the Twix one at a time, and transfer onto the chilled baking sheet.  When all the Twix have been coated, refrigerate until the chocolate is completely firm.  Serve and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

**There will be some chocolate leftover.  Feel free to chill the Twix and re-coat with a second layer of chocolate!
