Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 24 caramel squares
  • 24 round vanilla wafer cookies
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Soften Caramels: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Unwrap the caramel squares and place them a few inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Put the baking sheet on the middle rack and warm the caramels for 5 minutes to soften them without melting.
  2. Prepare Cookies: Arrange the vanilla wafer cookies with the bottom side facing up on a small parchment-lined sheet pan that fits inside your freezer. This helps keep the caramel from sticking later.
  3. Shape Caramels on Cookies: Remove the softened caramels from the oven. While still warm and pliable, gently flatten each caramel into a circle sized to fit the cookies. Place one flattened caramel on top of each wafer cookie on the prepared sheet pan.
  4. Flash Freeze Bites: Transfer the sheet pan with the caramel-topped cookies into the freezer and chill for 15 minutes until the bites are firm but not frozen solid.
  5. Melt Chocolate: Place 1 cup of the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted.
  6. Coat Half the Bites: Remove half the caramel cookies from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each bite completely into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Lay coated bites onto a parchment-lined sheet pan to set.
  7. Melt Remaining Chocolate and Coat Remaining Bites: Repeat the melting process with the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips. Dip the remaining frozen bites into the melted chocolate and place them on the parchment-lined sheet pan to set.
  8. Set and Store: Let the coated Twix bites sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens completely. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, ready to enjoy anytime.

Notes

  • Ensure caramels are softened enough to reshape but not melted completely to avoid sticking.
  • Freezing the bites before dipping helps the caramel stay in place when coating with chocolate.
  • Use a fork or dipping tool to get an even chocolate coating and to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  • Room temperature setting means no refrigeration needed for the chocolate to harden, but you can chill if you prefer firmer texture.
