I tried this recipe today because friends had pinned it and I thought, "Hey, kiddo wants to try a Twix bar and can't!"
http://www.canyoustayfordinner.com/2010/12/10/homemade-twix-bars/I don't recommend it.
First, she gives a shortbread recipe that's meant to be very tender.
Then she gives a caramel recipe that, first of all is wrong because she says to cook it to peanut brittle stage, and second of all when I cooked it (on my second try) just to the proper temperature for caramel, the caramel is firm and the shortbread falls apart.
That's not how the cookie is in the candy bar.
So I should have analyzed it better up front.
Has anyone else found something better and easier? There's got to be an easier way. It took up half of my &*(^ afternoon.
