Homemade Twix Bars: A Candy Lover's Dream

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spray a 9-X-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Spray the parchment.

In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour and salt gradually. If adding ground rice, remove any chunks by passing through a fine sieve and mix in. Dough will be crumbly but should hold together.

Scrape the dough into the baking pan and press into an even layer on the bottom of the pan.

Bake for 12 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake for another 10 minutes or until the shortbread is a light golden brown, being careful not to over bake.

Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Caramel use this quick version or try a homemade

Place caramel in a microwave safe bowl with heavy cream. Microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth, adding more heavy cream if necessary.

Pour the prepared caramel sauce over the shortbread and sprinkle with salt. Allow caramel to set completely by cooling at room-temperature for at least 2 hours or in the fridge for about 1 hour.

Remove the caramel shortbread from the pan. Using a large, sharp knife, cut into long, finger-width bars.

Chocolate glaze

Place chocolate and butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth.

Dip bars in melted chocolate to cover completely and place on baking sheet covered in parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Place in refrigerator until chocolate has cooled and set, about 10 minutes.

Enjoy!
