Description
Delicious homemade Twix Bars with layers of crumbly shortbread, creamy caramel, and rich chocolate coating.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add in the flour and a pinch of salt, mixing until just combined to form a dough. Press this mixture into a lined 9×9 inch baking dish.
- Bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sweetened condensed milk and brown sugar. Stir continuously until it boils, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Pour the caramel over the baked shortbread and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Melt semi-sweet chocolate with a teaspoon of coconut oil in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the cooled caramel layer and spread evenly.
- Cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until set. Cut into bars and serve.
Notes
Try adding sea salt on top for extra flavor. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
