For your Twix fix. The prep time is based on the microwave method of cooking the caramel. This is a 'cookie' recipe, not the exact clone of a Twix.

Reduce the power to medium-low and continue to cook for another 8 - 12 minutes, or until the milk has thickened and turned a light caramel color. Remove from microwave and beat until smooth).
  • TOPPING:.

TWIX BAR COOKIES

These are tasty treats that don't last long at my house!

Provided by Cara Metzger

Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 13

COOKIE BASE
1 3/4 c all purpose flour
1 c butter, cold
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
CARAMEL FILLING
3/4 c butter
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
3 Tbsp corn syrup, light
14 oz can(s) sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
CHOCOLATE TOPPING
12 oz pkg milk chocolate chips
1 Tbsp butter

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Place all the cookie base ingredients into a food processor and pulse until they start to mix together. It will not all blend together but will make small clumps when ready. Press into a 9 X 13" pan that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
  • 2. While the crust is baking, make the caramel filling. Combine all the caramel ingredients except vanilla in a non-stick pan and heat over medium-high heat. Stir constantly until it comes to a boil. The butter will separate but later incorporate into the mix. Reduce heat and simmer for about 6-8 minutes while constantly stirring. Great arm workout! Remove from heat and add vanilla. Pour over the cookie crust and refrigerate until the caramel layer is cold and firm.
  • 3. Melt the chocolate chips and butter in microwave, or over double boiler, and spread over cooled caramel layer. I think I might try melting peanut butter chips or making a peanut butter sauce and spread over the caramel and top with chocolate next time! Or try a layer of white chocolate....

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use Room Temperature Butter: When a recipe calls for butter, it's best to use room temperature butter. This will make it easier to cream together with the sugar and will result in a smoother batter.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dry cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the Cookies at the Right Temperature: The temperature of your oven can greatly affect the outcome of your cookies. Make sure to preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Don't Overbake the Cookies: Overbaked cookies will be dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set and the edges are just beginning to brown.

Conclusion:

Twix bar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy these delicious cookies in no time.
