Homemade Twix Bars 

Homemade Twix Bars [with my alterations]

1 cup salted butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tsp. vanilla 

2 cups flour

2 1/2 cups caramel (I used the little vanilla caramel candies that are already in little squares)

3 Tbsp. heavy whipping cream

2 - 2 1/2 cups chocolate chips 

Crust: 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a 9x13 baking pan. Combine butter, sugar, and vanilla. Add flour and mix well. Press dough into pan. Prick with a fork and bake for 30-35 minutes. After removing from oven run a knife along the edges. Let cool. 

Caramel: 

Melt caramels and cream in a saucepan. Pour over cooled crust. Let cool [stick in in the fridge for a half hour or so]

Chocolate: 

While the caramel is cooling melt the chocolate. You can melt it in the microwave in 10 second intervals stirring every 10 seconds or you can use the double boiler method [which is what I did]. Once melted, pour over caramel layer. Let cool. Then eat some yummies!
