I think my husband’s world came crashing down when he learned he developed a peanut allergy at 31.  That meant no more Snickers, which were his favorite splurge treat.  He now has turned to Twix to get his candy bar fix on those rare occasions.  He’s not sure why or how he developed the peanut allergy, but his doctor said it was something that was common once a person turns 30 to develop an intolerance to a certain food.

I wanted to make something for by hubby so he could feel like he was still eating something rather close to a Snickers, but he could eat with zero issues.  Since he now is a fan of Twix, I wanted to combine those two hit candy bars.  That’s how these Snix were born.  An almond flour shortbread only sweetened with maple syrup, with a layer of almond butter, or whatever nut butter your prefer, a layer of my Coconut Milk Caramel Sauce, and then a layer of dark chocolate. 

My husband and I are both not huge fans of chocolate, we’re in the minority I know, so I chose to do a heavy drizzle of dark chocolate over top.  If you’re a chocolate fanatic like majority of people, then you go right ahead and get heavy handed with that layer, or freeze once you get he caramel layer on, then cut into candy bars and dunk each bar in chocolate so it’s covered like the real Snickers of Twix.  I may actually try that the next time I make these to see if I can get a somewhat thin but even layer coating…
