    Twix Cookies

    So I opened my pantry the other day and saw a box of shortbread Girl Scout cookies sitting next to a bag of Twix candy bars and thought, hmmm… who doesn’t love Girl Scout shortbread cookies, and who doesn’t love Twix candy bars?  A chocolate caramel shortbread cookie baked IN a shortbread cookie!

    Five cookies on a blue plate. Text at bottom of image. I must tell you my mistake the first time I tried to make them; I mixed the Twix in the batter.  Although they were still delish, the caramel stuck to the bottom of the pan.  So I tried, tried again and placed the Twix on TOP of the cookies before I baked them.

    Oh, and you need to freeze the Twix candy bars for about an hour minimum before you cut them.  I used the “fun size”.

     Then, slice your twix with a sharp knife into little chunks.  Even though they’re frozen, they’re not hard to cut.

    Enjoy!
