Homemade Twix Bars

Homemade Twix Bars:

Shortbread Crust:

1 1/3 cups butter, softened (not melted)

1/2 cup white sugar

2 1/2 cups flour

Caramel Sauce:

1 cup butter

 1 cup brown sugar

4 tbsp corn syrup

1 tin sweetened condensed milk

Top Layer:

4 cups chocolate chips

2 tsp oil of choice ( I use coconut oil)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 11 x 15 pan with cooking spray.

To make your shortbread crust mix together sugar and flour, and cut the butter in until it has formed evenly sized crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges start to turn a golden brown. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.

To make the caramel sauce combine the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and sweetened condensed milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, STIRRING CONSTANTLY or it will burn easily. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes continually stirring. Remove from heat and continue to stir for another 2-3 minutes. Pour the caramel sauce over the shortbread crust. Let it cool until the caramel mixture starts to form. I like to speed this up by putting it into the freezer.

Melt the chocolate and oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for no more than 15- 30 seconds at a time to prevent the chocolate from seizing, stirring during the intervals. once chocolate is completely melted pour it over top the caramel layer and let it cool.

Cut into squares with a warm knife to make a clean cut.
