We've Remixed the Twix! This ReTwix recipe is a game-changer and a crowd pleaser. No one will believe these little delights are gluten-free, much less grain-free! Candy is something that should be accessible and enjoyed by everyone, so we're here to make that happen! This recipe can also be made Paleo-friendly if you use coconut or granulated maple sugar. 
In short... You need them in your life. 

Ingredients           

• 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• ¾ cup Otto’s Naturals - Cassava Flour
• 1 ½ - 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 ½ cups Sweet Apricity caramels (or caramel of your choice)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8x8" pan with parchment paper.
2. For the shortbread, mix melted butter, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Add flour and mix until combined. The dough will be thick. Press firmly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the edges are browning. Once removed from the oven, let cool.
3. Once the shortbread is cool, bring 1-2 inches of water to a simmer in a saucepan. Make a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl or another pot on top. You want it to fit snugly without touching the water. Add your caramels and stir constantly until they are completely melted.
4. Immediately pour caramel on top of shortbread. Place in the freezer for ~30 minutes.
5. Remove caramel + shortbread from the freezer and remove from the pan. Gently flip it over so the shortbread side is facing up. Slice in half and cut into 1-inch wide fingers.
6. Create a second double boiler for the chocolate. Once chocolate is fully melted, quickly and carefully dip shortbreads into chocolate and set on a parchment paper-lined tray. Let sit for 10 min and drizzle the remaining chocolate on top. Place in the freezer for 30-45 min so the chocolate can fully solidify.
7. Remove, let come to room temperature and enjoy!

What Makes Otto’s Naturals Cassava Flour the Best Choice for this Recipe?

Otto’s Naturals’ main goal is to provide an option for families challenged by food allergies and intolerances. Our Cassava Flour is unlike anything your kitchen has ever experienced. It is an all-natural, amazing, and grain-free replacement for wheat flour and can often be used as a 1:1 substitute in countless recipes. There are no fillers, just 100% yuca root. Our recipes have been optimized to use with our cassava flour specifically; using other brands may result in undesired final products. 

Why use Parchment Paper?

3 reasons why you should use parchment paper:

1. Helps regulate the temperature and neutralize hot spots on your baking vessel.
2. Eliminates sticking.
3. Makes cleaning up much easier.
