Ingredients
  

The shortbread

  • 1 cup gluten-free flour I use King Arthur's Gluten Free Flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 sticks of unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

The chocolate top

  • 7 ounces dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions
 

The shortbread

  • Preheat the oven to 325 and line an 8x8 square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Combine softened butter, almond flour, gluten-free flour, and powdered sugar in a large bowl using your hands or a food processor. Work the mixture for about 5 minutes.
  • Press the shortbread into the bottom of the baking dish evenly. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Let cool.

The date caramel

  • Combine pitted dates, vanilla extract, salt, and unsweetened coconut milk in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
  • Spread the date caramel evenly over the shortbread top.

The chocolate top

  • Melt chocolate and butter together in a microwave safe bowl.
  • Stir until smooth.
  • Pour chocolate over the date caramel layer.
  • Let the Twix bars set for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator before slicing.

Notes

The dates should be pitted and possibly soaked in warm water for 10-15 minutes if they're not very soft
