Homemade Twix Bites
Nilla wafers and caramel are covered in semisweet chocolate to make the kind of sweet treat Twix fans are going to go wild for.
Servings: 24
Equipment
- Baking Sheet 9 x 13-Inch
- Parchment Paper or Wax Paper
Ingredients
- 24 Nilla wafers
- 24 Werther's I used Werther’s Original soft caramels
- 2½ Cups semisweet chocolate chips or preferred type of chocolate
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 13-inch rimmed pan with parchment paper. Remove the caramels from the wrappers and use your fingers to flatten them out. Top each Nilla wafer with a caramel and arrange them on the prepared pan.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave. Heat the chocolate for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate has melted completely.
- Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, use a fork to dip each Twix bite in the chocolate and then return them to the pan.
- Let your Twix bites chill in the fridge for an hour, or until the chocolate is set.
Notes
The right caramels: Make sure you grab the soft caramels and not the hard ones. They should be rectangular shaped.
Flattening the caramels: The caramels should be soft enough to work with straight from the package, but if you are having a hard time flattening them, heat them in the microwave briefly or in a 250°F oven. Don’t go any hotter than that though - you don’t want the caramel too hot to work with.
Let excess chocolate drip off: Let the excess chocolate drip off the Twix bites before putting them on the sheet pan so they look tidier.
Stop them sticking: Don’t skip the parchment paper or wax paper. If you don’t line your baking sheet, then the Twix bites will be much harder to remove and they might break.
