Homemade Twix

These are even better than the real Twix!


For shortbread:
2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar

To make the shortbread layer preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 9x13 pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir with fork and set aside. In an electric mixer beat butter and sugar on medium until blended about 1-2 minutes. Add dry ingredients. Put in prepared pan, and press evenly. Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden. Cool completely

For caramel:
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
4 tbsp. light corn syrup
2 (14oz) cans sweetened condensed milk

For caramel combine butter, sugar, corn syrup, and condensed milk in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until butter is melted. Increase heat to medium high and brig to a boil. Simmer on reduced heat and stir constantly until about 248 degrees Fahrenheit. Or a firm ball. It will be a soft caramel layer. Poor over shortbread, smooth and cool.


For ganache topping:
1 12oz package (or 2 cups) dark chocolate chips
1 cup whipped cream or half and half

Put both ingredients in small sauce pan over low heat and stir constantly until chocolate is melted. Poor over caramel and if desired sprinkle with salt. Let cool completely before serving.
