Homemade Twix Bites
Servings 40
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 40 caramels unwrapped
- 40 vanilla wafers
- 1 (10-oz) bag of dark chocolate melting wafers or 2 cups of chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unwrap the caramels and place them on the prepared baking sheet a few inches apart.
- Bake for 5-8 minutes, until soft to the touch but not melted.
- Meanwhile, arrange the vanilla wafer cookies, bottom-side up, on a parchment-lined sheet pan that will fit in your refrigerator.
- Remove the caramels from the oven while they're still warm, then mold each caramel over the wafer cookies.
- Place on the prepared baking sheet, and repeat with remaining caramels and vanilla wafers.
- Refrigerate them on the baking sheet for 15 minutes.
- When you're ready to coat the bites in chocolate, place the melting wafers and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Remove, stir, and microwave in 15-second intervals until they are melted and smooth, stirring between each interval.
- Remove the bites from the fridge.
- Using a fork, dip and coat each bite completely in the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl before transferring it to a parchment-lined sheet pan. Side Note: Let the dipped cookie slide right onto the parchment-lined baking sheet without touching it.
- Return the bites to the fridge for a few minutes to let the chocolate set.
- Remove, and if you have any excess melted chocolate, drizzle it over the cookies with a fork or spoon.
- Let the bites set at room temperature until the chocolate is completely set.
- Store the bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
