Homemade “Twix” Bars
Indulge in these homemade ‘Twix’ bars with a delicious combination of buttery shortbread, smooth caramel, and rich chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in the flour and salt until combined.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the additional butter and stir in the sweetened condensed milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the baked shortbread crust. Let it cool at room temperature.
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled caramel layer.
- Allow chocolate to set completely before slicing into bars and serving.
