Instructions:
Giant Shortbread:
- Make a giant shortbread by mixing 1 Cup Butter (softened) & ⅔ Cup Sugar until light and fluffy
- TIP: I imagine this step is much easier with a Stand Mixer
- In a separate bowl, whisk 2 Cups Flour, ½ tsp Salt & ¼ tsp Baking Powder
- Slowly add that to the Mixer on slow speed and gradually speed it up
- Once all the dough has come together roll it into a large ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes or until firm
- Flatten your dough on a lightly floured silicone mat and press out the dough until it is the size of your Twix bar shape, roughly an inch thick
- Bake at 350°F for a total of 50 minutes, turning 180 degrees half way through the baking process
- Let is cool
Giant Twix:
- Grease up your Twix molds (rectangular pans)
- Melt (23 oz bag) chocolate in intervals of 30 seconds in the
microwave. Should take a total of 3 cycles
- Equally pour the melted chocolate in both pans
- Refrigerate
- Melt 2 (11 oz bags) caramel bits in intervals of 30 seconds in the
microwave. Should take a total of 4 cycles
- Equally pour the caramel on top of the chocolate layer
- Refrigerate
- Cut your shortbread into the shape of the pans and place on top of
the caramel layer
- Melt a second bag of chocolate and equally pour it on top of the
shortbread layer
- Refrigerate
- Carve around the mold with a paring knife and knock it out onto some
wax paper
- Melt a third bag of chocolate and using a spatula cover all the bare
areas of the Twix bar until all the sides are completely covered in
chocolate
- Refrigerate
- Cut & Serve, Enjoy!
