Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 24 caramel squares
- 24 round vanilla wafer cookies
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Lay out the 24 vanilla wafer cookies on a clean surface or baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out evenly for easy handling.
- Melt the Caramel: Unwrap the 24 caramel squares and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
- Top the Wafers with Caramel: Spoon a small amount of the melted caramel evenly onto each vanilla wafer cookie, spreading gently to cover the surface without overflowing.
- Chill the Caramel Layer: Place the caramel-topped wafer cookies in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the caramel to firm up and set.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat with Chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each caramel-covered wafer into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated bites on a parchment-lined tray.
- Set the Chocolate: Refrigerate the chocolate-coated Twix bites for at least 15 minutes or until the chocolate is firm and set.
- Serve and Store: Once firm, your Homemade Twix Bites are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe bowl for melting caramel and chocolate to avoid burns.
- Allowing the caramel to set before coating with chocolate prevents mixing and keeps the layers distinct.
- For a smoother chocolate coating, stir the chocolate frequently while melting to prevent burning.
- These bites can also be made with milk or dark chocolate chips depending on your preference.
- Keep the finished bites refrigerated to maintain the texture of caramel and chocolate.
