Vanilla wafer cookies topped with sweet, sticky caramel and a rich chocolate coating make Homemade Twix Bites irresistible!
Ingredients
- 24 caramel squares
- 24 round vanilla wafer cookies
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. Unwrap and place the caramels a few inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 5 minutes to soften the caramels. They should not melt. They should just soften so that you can reshape them.
- Meanwhile, arrange the vanilla wafer cookies, bottom sides up, on a small parchment-lined sheet pan that will fit in your freezer.
- Remove the caramels from the oven and while they’re still warm slightly flatten each caramel into a circle shape that will fit the size of the wafer cookies. Place each flattened caramel on top of each cookie on the sheet pan.
- Place the sheet pan of bites in the freezer for 15 minutes to flash freeze them.
- When you’re ready to coat the bites in chocolate, place 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 seconds intervals until melted and smooth, stirring between each interval.
- Remove half of the flash frozen bites from the freezer. Using a fork, dip and coat each bite completely in the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl before transferring the coated bite to a parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Repeat with the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips and remaining bites that are in the freezer.
- Let the bites set at room temperature until the chocolate is completely set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
