Step 3: Make the Caramel Layer
If using caramel candies, place them in a small saucepan with a splash of cream or milk. Heat gently over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth and pourable. If using homemade caramel, warm it slightly so it spreads easily.
Spoon or spread a layer of caramel over each cooled cookie, leaving a small border around the edges. Let the caramel set for about 10–15 minutes.
Step 4: Melt the Chocolate
Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Melt them slowly using a microwave in short intervals or over a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth. For a glossy finish, stir in a small amount of butter or cream.
Step 5: Add the Chocolate Topping
Spoon the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, gently spreading it to cover the surface. Tap the cookies lightly to smooth the chocolate and remove air bubbles.
Allow the cookies to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Final Touches and Serving Tips
Once fully set, the cookies are ready to enjoy. The shortbread should snap gently, the caramel should be soft but not runny, and the chocolate should melt smoothly on the tongue.
Serving ideas:
- Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top for a sweet-salty contrast
- Serve with coffee or tea for an elegant dessert moment
- Stack them in a gift box for a homemade treat that looks professionally made
Storage Tips
- Store Twix cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
- Refrigerate for up to one week
- Freeze layered cookies (before chocolate sets fully) for longer storage
A Cookie Worth the Extra Steps
Twix cookies may take a little more time than a standard cookie recipe, but the results are absolutely worth it. Each bite delivers layers of buttery, chewy, and chocolatey goodness that feel both nostalgic and indulgent. Once you make them at home, they’re sure to become a repeat favorite in your dessert collection. 🍪✨
