The only thing better than candy... is homemade candy! With Easter coming up and the kids craving all types of candy and chocolates, you should try making these gluten free twix bars that are way healthier than anything on the shelf. These twix bars are sweetened naturally with pure maple syrup, loaded with protein from the almond flour and almond butter, and filled with healthy fats from the coconut flour and coconut oil. Topped with some chocolate and you really can't beat it! I always try to keep a stash in my freezer so I have some on hand to snack on throughout the day.
