Description

Delight in these homemade Twix Cookies, featuring a crisp Ritz cracker base layered with soft caramel and enveloped in perfectly tempered chocolate. Finished with a drizzle of white chocolate and a sprinkle of flaky salt, these treats capture the iconic flavors of Twix bars with a delightful cookie twist.

Ingredients

Caramel Layer

  • 1 bag Kraft caramels, unwrapped
  • 6 cups whole Ritz crackers

Chocolate Coating

  • 4 cups mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate

Finishing Touch

  • Flaky salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Tray: Preheat your oven to 350° F (175° C). Line a sheet tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  2. Arrange Crackers and Caramel: Lay half of the Ritz crackers evenly on the prepared sheet tray. Place one unwrapped Kraft caramel on top of each cracker piece.
  3. Bake Caramel: Bake the crackers with caramel for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Bake until the caramel softens significantly but does not melt completely.
  4. Melt Milk Chocolate and Temper: Using a double boiler, melt the mini chocolate chips by stirring consistently with a spatula. Monitor the temperature with a candy thermometer, heating until 118° F. Remove from heat and stir until the chocolate cools to 84° F. Return the bowl over the simmering water and stir until the chocolate reheats to 89° F, achieving a proper temper.
  5. Assemble Cookie Layers: Top each softened caramel cracker with another Ritz cracker to form a sandwich. Using a fish spatula, coat each sandwich generously with tempered chocolate, ensuring an even coating without overloading.
  6. Melt White Chocolate: In a separate bowl over the same double boiler, melt the white chocolate until smooth and creamy.
  7. Cool and Decorate: Let the chocolate-coated cookies cool completely at room temperature on the sheet pan. Once cooled, drizzle melted white chocolate artistically over the cookies with a small spoon.
  8. Add Finishing Salt: Sprinkle flaky salt over the drizzled white chocolate to enhance the flavor contrast and finish the cookies.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to set fully before serving to enjoy the perfect balance of chocolate, caramel, and saltiness in every bite.

Notes

  • Ensure careful temperature monitoring while tempering chocolate for best texture and shine.
  • Use a fish spatula for smooth, controlled chocolate coating to avoid over-coating the cookies.
  • Allow cookies to cool thoroughly before handling to maintain their shape and texture.
  • Flaky salt adds a wonderful contrast to the sweetness; do not skip.
  • These cookies contain gluten from Ritz crackers.
