Chocolate, caramel and biscuits: everything for the perfect mix-twix pie

Okay, okay. Maybe the Mars is my ultimate number 1, but the Twix deserved a well-deserved second place. With a base of almond flour, coconut oil and dates, a caramel of dates with peanut butter and a dark chocolate layer, this homemade twix pie is vegan, crunchy on the outside and deliciously creamy on the inside.

In terms of taste, this resembles a Millionaire’s shortbread: a biscuit layer with a caramel layer with a chocolate layer on top. Try it now and you will immediately understand what I mean.
