Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degree Fahrenheit.

In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and vanilla.

Add the flour - at first the mixture may seem dry, but will come together quickly.

Melt the caramel and cream in a small saucepan over low heat.

Pour the caramel over the cooled crust and set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm up.

Melt the chocolate in the microwave using ten second increments - stirring every time.

If the chocolate seems too thick, add a tablespoon of shortening to thin it. (Just know that this will leave your end-resulting chocolate a little softer than normal. I don't use it for this very reason. )

Pour evenly over the chilled caramel layer and spread until it covers the entire surface.

For some added fun, you could even cut the crust and caramel layer into bars and DIP them in the chocolate instead, to make them resemble the real Twix candy bar. I hope you love them!
