HOMEMADE TWIX BARS
Make Your Own Twix Bars!
▢ shortbread (any shape or brand you prefer)
▢ one bag of soft caramels
▢ one tablespoon milk or cream
▢ one bag of mini chocolate chips
▢ two tablespoons oil
Instructions:
First, cover a baking pan with wax paper and a light mist of nonstick cooking spray. Place the shortbread in the pan. Melt the caramels with the milk or cream over low/medium heat. Allow to cool slightly, then pour over the shortbread. I added a little coarse grain sea salt here, but that's just optional.
Let the caramel set until it has hardened (I let mine set overnight).
Cover a cutting board or work surface with wax paper and a light mist of nonstick cooking spray. Flip the bars out onto the wax paper. Cut into bars and trim off any excess caramel on the edges.
Melt the chocolate with the oil. I microwaved mine in a glass bowl on high for 30 seconds, stirred and repeated until the chocolate was fully melted (mine took about a minute and 30 seconds total).
Last, dip the bars in the chocolate and tap off the excess. Place on a cooling rack and allow the chocolate to set before eating. You can put the bars in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
