#Nut Butter

While peanut butter is our choice for this recipe, you can easily substitute it with pretty much any nut butter. If you prefer almond butter to peanut, feel free to use it instead.

#Storage

One of the best things about these Twix bars is that they can stay good for around a week. And if you want you can keep them in the freezer in a safe container for up to a month. Make sure to store these bars covered and in the fridge until you are ready to serve them.

#Flour

If you don’t want to use coconut flour or just don’t enjoy the taste of it, you can easily substitute it with almond flour. As we said, you can make this recipe your own, so make it fit your preferences.
