Twix Bars

Mmmmmm.

Yes, let's say that again, Mmmmmmm.

These are tasty!  I made them for a family Halloween party and they were gobbled up quickly!

It might be partially due to the fact that there is 1 pound of butter in a 9x13 pan.  Oh yeah, and some sugar.  Throw in some sweetened condensed milk, and what's not to love?

Shortbread Crust:
2 sticks butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups flour
Mix and press in 9x13 pan. Bake @ 375 for 20 min.

Caramel:
2 sticks butter
1 cup brown sugar
4 tbsp corn syrup
1 can sweetened condensed milk
 Cook over med heat- boil 5 min. Pour on crust. Put in fridge 1 hour.

Chocolate:
Melt 12 oz bag of milk choc chips
 2 tbsp veg. Oil
 Spread over caramel and put in fridge for 2 hours.

I discovered that if you 1/4 this recipe, it makes a perfect 8x8 pan.  It is thinner layers of the caramel and crust and I think it is a nice change.  Plus making only an 8x8 pan means there's less laying around that I am going to eat.

1/4 recipe:

4 T butter
1/8 cup sugar
1/2 cup flour
Mix and press in 8x8 pan, bake at 375 for about 14-15 minutes.  Check it to make sure it doesn't get too dark.

4 T butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 T corn syrup
5 T sweetened condensed milk
cook over medium heat - boil 5 minutes.  Pour on crust, put in fridge 1 hour

1/3-1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 T vegetable oil
melt together, spread over cooled caramel layer.  Refrigerate until set.
