Healthy DIY “Twix” Bars (vegan, paleo, gluten-free) Print 20 LikeDislike By giada mazzer If you’re a fan of Twix candy bars, these are for you. This recipe, made with just a handful of all-natural ingredients, is a super-decadent, vegan, and gluten-free version of the store-bought version! No need to say that these chocolate covered treats taste even better! Featuring macadamias and fresh dates, these caramel-filled bars are loaded with heart-healthy fat, fiber, and minerals. Macadamias, in fact, are high in iron, magnesium (essential for bone and nerve health), manganese, and fiber and they are also a fabulous source of antioxidants, mono-unsaturated fats, and protein. Wonderfully delicious, dates are one of the most popular fruits packed with an impressive list of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that are required for normal growth, development and overall well-being.
