a few years ago
a friend of a friend said to me
regarding chocolate
if you could come up with something
that has
chocolate
caramel
and a
cookie
i would totally go for that
and i said
you mean
like a twix?
and she replied
exactly like a twix
and i gave her
25 cents
and walked away
fast forward a few years...
i was digging through the freezer
and came across
shortbread cookie dough
and figured
why not
i could take a twix
and make it just a wee bit better
using
fine chocolate
homemade caramel
and
a smattering of shaved sea salt
folks
this is
good
this is
valentine good
this is
write 100 times on the chalkboard
"i love you more than chocolate"
in
penance
good
"twix" bars
1/2 recipe shortbread dough--rolled out, cut into batons and baked
1 recipe caramel--cooled and cut into batons equal to the cookies
tempered bittersweet (62% or higher) chocolate
flaked sea salt
let the cookie base cool, then place the caramel on top. allow it to sit for at least 5 minutes so the caramel will begin to stick to the cookie base. dip in tempered chocolate and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. sprinkle with sea salt, then place in the refrigerator to finish setting. remove from fridge after about 10 minutes or so. serve at room temperature.
enjoy!
