Preparation
Not specified
Cooking
- Cookie Layer:.
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl, using your hands to press it together until it is well mixed and a ball shape.
- Let sit in fridge for 10 minutes.
- If you'd like to do the easier option, simply press dough into bottom of a parchment lined 8x8" pan.
- Bake.
- To make traditional Twix shapes, roll dough into snakes and press snakes flat on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Place shaped dough in freezer for 15 minutes before baking at 325°F (160°C) degrees for 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let sit for at least 10 minutes (ideally, until they cool completely) before removing from pan.
- Caramel Layer:.
- Process.
- Using a food processor or blender, process all ingredients together until completely smooth.
- If you're using a blender, it helps to start on a "low" setting until everything is more liquidy, then switching to "high" to get rid of any chunks.
- Assembly:.
- Spread a generous layer of the caramel on top of cookie layer; place caramel-topped cookies in freezer while you melt the chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave.
- (I did 1 cup chocolate chips + 1/2 Tablespoon coconut oil).
- Spoon chocolate over bars, making sure to swipe it around the sides, or simply spread an even layer atop the caramel and cookie layer if using 8x8" pan.
- Let cool completely and enjoy!.
- Store in an airtight container or bag in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for 1-2 months.
