Twix Bar Fake-Out

Twix Bar Fake-Out

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup white sugar

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup butter

3/8 cup white sugar

3 tbsp light corn syrup

1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup milk chocolate chips

Beat butter and 1/4 cup sugar in mixer until pale in color. Add flour to form a crumbly dough similar to pie crust. Press dough into an 8 inch square baking pan that has been greased and lined with parchment paper. Bake shortbread base at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Leave in pan, cool in fridge.

To make caramel layer, bring to boil: 3/4 cup butter, 3/8 cup sugar, syrup, and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan. Stir constantly once boiling for 7 minutes. Caramel mixture will thicken and become pale in color. Spread caramel on COOLED shortbread base. Let caramel layer cool for 30 minutes in the fridge and then an additional one to two hours in the freezer to get the caramel layer stone hard.

To make the chocolate layer, melt chocolate chips over low heat. Spread melted chocolate directly onto cooled caramel layer. Let cool for hour and then stuff your face!!

Ok, so we first cream the butter and sugar until pale...

Add in the flour until you have a nice crumbly, soft dough like this.

Press dough into your parchment lined pan and poke holes in the shortbread to reduce breakage when cutting your final product!

Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until just golden brown on the edges.

Now, on with the caramel layer!!

Melt the butter into the sugar, sweetened condensed milk and corn syrup.

Heat through until boiling, then stir constantly for 7 minutes!!

After 7 minutes of stirring and boiling, pour your caramel on top of the shortbread.

Place in the fridge for 30 minutes and then in the freezer for a few hours to speed up the hardening process.

Once your caramel layer is hardened and cooled melt your chocolate.

Ok, so again, melt your 1 cup of milk chocolate chips.

And pour on top of your cold caramel layer.

The chocolate will start to harden up immediately. Score your bars with a sharp knife, this will help with chocolate breakage when you are cutting your final product. Place back in the fridge for 30 minutes or so.

Then, take your parchment paper wrapped bars out of the baking dish...

And start cutting them up into little Twix Bar pieces of joy...YUM!

A fake-out Twix bar recipe just can't be beat!
