Cookies
- 11 ounce box vanilla wafers
Caramel Layer
- 4.5 ounce bag Kraft caramels (or Werther’s soft caramels)
Chocolate Coating
- 12 ounce bag chocolate candy melts
- Prepare the Caramel Discs: Unwrap each caramel candy and, using clean hands, flatten each piece into a circle approximately the same size as the vanilla wafers. This will be the chewy caramel layer of your Twix.
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments. Stir well between each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth without lumps.
- Prepare for Chocolate Piping: Transfer the melted chocolate into a decorating bag or use a freezer-safe zip-top bag and snip off a tiny corner to create a piping bag for easy chocolate application.
- Coat the Cookie Sides with Chocolate: Pipe melted chocolate onto the flat side of two vanilla wafer cookies for each Twix bar you plan to make.
- Assemble the Twix Bars: Sandwich one flattened caramel disc between two chocolate-coated wafer cookies and gently press together to adhere them. Place the assembled bars on a sheet of parchment or wax paper to let the chocolate set and harden.
- Repeat for Remaining Cookies: Continue the process until you have created as many Twix bars as the ingredients allow, letting them dry fully before serving.
Notes
- Ensure your hands are clean and dry when shaping the caramels to avoid sticking.
- You can refrigerate the assembled Twix bars for faster chocolate setting.
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate candy melts or tempered chocolate.
- Store finished Twix bars in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to one week.
- If you prefer a layered caramel, slightly warm the caramels to make them easier to flatten.
