Before you start baking, make sure to line your muffin tin with parchment paper or silicone liners. This will make removing the cups a breeze once they're done baking. Now, let's get started with the cookie crust.

Almond Flour Cookie Crust

In a food processor, combine almond flour, salt, and a touch of baking powder. Pulse until well mixed. Then, add in the almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Process until a dough forms, scraping down the sides as needed.

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and press each piece into the bottom and up the sides of your prepared muffin tin. Make sure to keep a finger or the back of a spoon to press down the center of each cup, creating a void for the caramel filling. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Caramel Filling

The caramel filling is where the magic happens. In a saucepan, combine almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), coconut oil, and salt. Whisk until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Then, transfer the mixture to a bowl and place it in the fridge to chill while you prepare the chocolate coating.

Once the caramel has slightly thickened but is still spreadable, spoon it into each cooled cookie cup, dividing it evenly among the 12 cups. Don't stress if the cups aren't perfectly even - they're homemade, and that's part of their charm!

Chocolate Coating

For the ultimate Twix experience, we can't forget the chocolate coating. Melt dark chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler. Once melted, let it cool slightly before spooning it over the caramel-filled cookies. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the chocolate around the edges, making sure it coats the sides of the cookie cups and creates a beautiful, glossy finish.

Place the tin in the fridge and let the chocolate set completely before removing the cups. This could take a couple of hours, so be patient! Once set, gently lift each Twix cup out of the muffin tin and enjoy your nutritious treat.

Storage and Serving

Store these Healthy Twix Cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze well, making them the perfect make-ahead snack! Serve them chilled for a refreshing contrast to the chocolate and caramel, or let them come to room temperature for aцијаlier experience.
