🌱 Ingredients & Notes

Here is everything you need for this recipe:

Ingredients for twix matcha bars on a serving platter with labels.

All-Purpose Flour - used for the vegan shortbread base
Vegan Butter - choose a non-dairy, plant-based option and make sure it's unsalted. I like to use Flora Plant.
Sugar - Granulated sugar - sweetens both the shortbread and matcha caramel layers; check for vegan-certified sugar if you're based in the US, or any other country that might sell non-vegan sugar.
Sweetened Condensed Oat Milk - Important for the shortbread and caramel layers; ensures a delicious sweetness and gooey caramel consistency, whilst keeping it vegan-friendly. I like to use Nature's Charm Sweetened Condensed Oat Milk.
Coconut Oil - Used in the matcha caramel layer, adds richness and helps in achieving the desired consistency.
Matcha Powder - Provides the distinct green tea flavor and vibrant color to the caramel layer. Make sure it's culinary-grade matcha suitable for baking.
Vegan White Chocolate - Used for coating the bars, choose a high-quality vegan white chocolate suitable for melting and coating. I bought a batch from Aldi UK recently, but you can also order vegan white chocolate in batch online.

🔪 Equipment

Here is all the equipment you need for these matcha twix bars:

Mixing Bowl - for combining the ingredients for the shortbread base as well as the caramel layer
Saucepan - for cooking the matcha caramel layer. Choose a saucepan with a thick bottom to prevent burning.
Silicone Chocolate Mould(s) - for shaping the twix bars. Ensure they are suitable for baking and easy to remove the bars from.
Baking Sheet - to place the coated bars for setting. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal.
Microwave-Safe Bowl or Double Boiler - for melting the white chocolate

🍽️ Serving

The bars are best served chilled. Allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before taking the first bite.

❄️ Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Separate multiple layers of Twix bars with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Keep the bars away from moisture and humidity to preserve the best texture and prevent sogginess.

To store the Matcha Twix Bars for an extended period, you can also freeze them. For best results, wrap the individual bars in parchment paper, then freeze them in a freezer-safe container or a zip-top bag.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Here are a few extra tips for making these vegan Twix bars a success:

Chill Between Layers - Ensure each layer sets properly before adding the next to avoid mixing. For best results, place the bars into the freezer after adding the matcha caramel.
Even Layer Thickness - Spread layers evening for a consistent taste throughout.
Grease Moulds - Lightly oil the silicone moulds for easy remove of the bars.
Use Quality Ingredients - Choose a good quality matcha powder and vegan white chocolate for the best results.
Experiment with Toppings - Play around with some additional matcha powder or sea salt sprinkled on top of the bars before the chocolate sets - or decorate the Twix bars with sprinkles!
Let the Bars Set Completely - Stay patient and make sure the Twix bars have set completely before removing them from the moulds or before enjoying them. This ensures well-defined layers and prevents crumbling.

Servings 12 bars

Equipment

1 mixing bowl
1 oven
1 silicone chocolate bar mould
1 saucepan
1 double boiler or microwave bowl to melt the white chocolate
1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Ingredients

For the vegan shortbread base:

1 cup all-purpose flour (120g)
½ cup vegan butter (113g) softened
¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
2 tablespoon sweetened condensed oat milk (30 ml)

For the matcha caramel layer:

½ cup sweetened condensed oat milk (120 ml)
¼ cup granulated sugar (50g)
2 tablespoon coconut oil (30g)
1 tablespoon matcha powder (5g)

For the chocolate coating:

1 cup vegan white chocolate (180g) melted

Instructions

Prepare the Shortbread Base:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
In a mixing bowl, cream together the vegan butter and sugar until smooth.
Add the sweetened condensed oat milk and flour. Mix until a dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the silicone chocolate moulds or a lined baking pan.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let it cool completely.

Make the Matcha Caramel Layer:

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sweetened condensed oat milk, granulated sugar, coconut oil, and matcha powder.
Stir continuously until the mixture begins to bubble, then reduce the heat to low and continue to stir until it reaches a caramel-like consistency - but without boiling the caramel.
Pour the matcha caramel over the cooled shortbread base in the moulds. Let it set in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 1 hour.

Coat with Vegan White Chocolate:

Melt the vegan white chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
Remove the matcha caramel-filled moulds from the refrigerator.
Carefully remove each bar from the moulds and dip them into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they're fully coated.
Place the coated bars on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them set in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.

Serving

Once the chocolate has set, the Vegan Matcha Twix Bars are ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

Decoration: To decorate the bars, you can mix any leftover melted white chocolate with a little matcha powder and drizzle it over the bars. You can also add nuts such as flaked almonds before the chocolate sets or alternatively dust the bars with a little matcha powder to make them look extra pretty.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Layering: Allow each layer to set properly before adding the next for distinct layers.
Precision: Spread layers evenly to ensure consistent taste throughout each bar.
Moulds: Lightly grease silicone moulds for easy removal of the bars.
Ingredient Quality: Opt for good-quality matcha powder and vegan white chocolate for better taste.
Melting Chocolate: Melt vegan white chocolate gently to avoid burning or seizing.
Toppings: Get creative with additional matcha powder or sea salt for extra flavor or decoration.
Patience: Let the bars set completely before slicing to maintain shape and layers.
