The only difference between these candy bars and a classic Twix is the "caramel" layer (which we made with cookie butter) and the shortbread (that's made with oatmeal for a heart-healthy twist).

“"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ~ Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
1. Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease and line an 8x8" baking pan with parchment paper (cut so that you have wings on the side for easy pull out).
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, baking sweetener, baking powder, and baking soda until well-combined.
3. Mix in the egg, yolk, vanilla extract, and olive oil.
4. Transfer into the prepared pan and press down to even out.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or golden brown on the edges. Let cool.
6. Melt the cookie butter in a saucepan over medium heat until smooth (about 2-3 minutes). Pour into the pan, then set in the freezer for 5 minutes.
7. To temper the chocolate: Melt 2/3rds of the chocolate in a double boiler to 115F. Remove and stir in the remaining chocolate. Let it cool to 84F (about 15 minutes), then reheat and stir until it reaches 89F (about 5 minutes).
8. Pour the tempered chocolate into the pan, then let it cool in the fridge for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Best kept in fridge in an air-tight container for up to one week. Enjoy!
