Vegan Twix Slice
I was craving something sweet last week and was missing the sugary junk food I used to indulge in too much. I knew I didn't want to go back there, but still wanted to satisfy my craving. Feeling inspired, I created this recipe for a Vegan Twix Slice, which has a crumbly cookie base, a soft caramel filling and a rich chocolate top. The recipe is vegan and can be made gluten free, and is low in refined sugar. Delicious and satisfying, without the guilt!
