Veganize it! Twix

In the series "Veganize it", I plan on making a vegan version of commonly known unvegan foods. This time I tried veganizing the Twix bar. For those, who don´t know this product: it is basically a stripe of light cookie, topped with caramel and covered in chocolate.

Ingedients:

For the dough:
150g flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
50g vegan butter
4-6 tablespoons of water
1 pinch of salt
(I originally added 60g sugar, but it turned out way too sweet. If you love very sweet foods, you could add sugar, but the bar will turn out sweet enough just because of the caramel and the chocolate.)

For the caramel:
8 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of agave nectar (you could add maple syrup instead or just leave it)
6 tablespoons of soy cream
3 tablespoons of vegan butter

finally a lot of chocolate (at least 200g) so you have enough to cover everything.


Directions:

At first you have to mix all the dry ingedients for your cookie part very well, then add the butter and start kneading. Slowly add the water, until you have a perfect dough. Leave it covered in the frigde to rest for at least 30 minutes.
Then you have to put it in a form which must be baking save. It is best, it you get a already rectangular shape and your dough isn´t thicker than 5mm. (mine was way too thick) Bake it in the oven for 20-30 minutes (or until it is done) on 180°C or 360°F. Then leave it to cool completely.

For the caramel, you have to add all the ingredients in a cooking pan and stir it on high heat. After a while, everything starts getting darker and when you have reached a golden brown caramely color, your caramel is done and you can add it on the cooled cookiepart. (don´t forget to stir the caramel the whole time, while heating it!) Leave the caramel topped cookie part cool completely again. Finally cut it into parts (you could use a regular twix, to get the size right). Melt the vegan chocolate and cover your vegan twix in it. Leave it to cool again and it is ready, to be eaten. It is a great gift as well!

I hope, you enjoy making this. Tell me what foods you want to see veganized.
