Ingredients

There are 3 different parts you'll need ingredients for: the nougat layer, the caramel layer and the chocolate layer. 

The nougat layer:

• 1 cup coconut flour
• 2 scoops Chocolate Whey
• 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/2 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener
• 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (add 1/3 cup more if it's still too thick and crumbly)

The caramel layer:

• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup Monk Fruit Sweetener (or liquid sweetener)
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil 

The chocolate layer:

• 1/2 cup Enjoy Life brand chocolate chips 

Directions

• Line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut flour and Chocolate Whey. Mix well. Add your peanut butter, Monk Fruit Sweetener and mix until a crumbly texture remains. Using a 1/4 cup, add milk of choice until a thick batter remains. (add more if still too crumbly). Transfer the batter to the lined pan and refrigerate.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, start making the 'caramel' by combining your peanut butter, Monk Fruit Sweetener and coconut oil. Melt until it's a liquid-form. Pour over the top of the Twix nougat layer. 
• Once hardened, remove from the loaf pan and cut into finger-length bars. Melt your chocolate chips in a large/flat bowl. Dip each snickers base in the chocolate until evenly coated. Refrigerate until chocolate has firmed up.
