Who needs a store-bought Twix bar when you can whip up your own vegan and grain-free version at home? This indulgent treat is made with just 7 simple ingredients: dates, coconut sugar, unsalted butter, almond flour, vanilla extract, sea salt, and dairy-free chocolate chips.

To Make the Base:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F) and line a square baking tin with parchment paper.
2. Combining in a mixing bowl, the ingredients of coconut flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt. Combine ingredients with your hands, working them together until a cohesive dough emerges.
3. With the dough pressed into the lined tin, place it in the oven and bake at a moderate temperature for 10 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown hue. Once baked, allow the dessert to cool completely before adding your desired toppings.

To Make the Caramel:

1. Whisk together in a medium-sized bowl the rich almond butter, smooth melted coconut oil, velvety maple syrup, and subtle vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
2. Allow the mixture to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to achieve a firm set.

To Make the Chocolate:

1. Fill a small saucepan with scalding hot water, then carefully position a heat-resistant bowl atop it.
2. Combine the chocolate and shredded coconut, heating them gently until they form a smooth, creamy mixture.
3. As the chocolate flows over the caramel, ensure its smoothness by gently spreading it with a spatula or spoon. Return the confection to the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes, allowing the chocolate to set before serving.
4. After the mixture has firmed up, heat a knife to a comfortable temperature and then cut it into uniform bars.
5. Serve chilled, as they tend to lose their texture and become mushy when left at ambient temperatures for an extended period. Store the contents in a securely closed container and maintain refrigeration; consumption is recommended within a short period of time, typically a few days.
