INGREDIENTS
For the shortbread:
1 cup (226g) of butter (ideally at a temperature between 60- and 64-degrees F)
1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar
1 3/4 cup (255g) of all-purpose flour
For the caramel:
15 caramels
3/4 cup (200g) of sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup (7g) of butter
For the coating:
2 packages of CandiQuik or other compound chocolate
SUPPLIES
A mixer
A spatula
A 9x13 baking pan
A 12x4.5 loaf pan
Some parchment
A saucepan
DIRECTIONS
Heat the oven to 300 F.
Line the pans.
Add the butter to a mixing bowl and mix it for a few seconds to break it up.
Gradually add the sugar to the butter and cream them together on medium until it’s light and fluffy, which will take 5 to 6 minutes.
Scrape the sides of the bowl 2 or 3 times during the process.
Gradually mix the flour into the creamed mixture until combined.
Spread the dough into the 13 x 9 baking pan.
Pierce the dough with a fork to keep it from bubbling up.
Bake it for 40 to 45 minutes until just lightly browned.
Remove it from the oven and immediately cut 2 pieces that are a little smaller than your loaf pan. The remainder can be cut into whatever size pieces you’d like. Allow the shortbread to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
For the caramel layer, add the sweetened condensed milk and butter to a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir it until the butter has melted, then add the caramels and turn the heat to medium low. Stir this continuously, so the caramels don’t burn.
Set the caramel aside to cool while you move on to the next step.
Melt 1 package of CandiQuik according to the directions and pour some of it into the lined loaf pan. You want to have right around 1/4 inch of chocolate. Leave the remaining chocolate in the tray. We’ll use that later.
Put the loaf pan in the refrigerator.
Once the caramel has cooled to about 100 degrees F, spread a thin layer over one piece of shortbread. This will be used to hold the two pieces of caramel together.
Spread a thicker layer over the other piece of shortbread.
Put the piece of shortbread with more caramel on top of the piece with less caramel, so they stick together, then place them on top of the chocolate in the loaf pan, caramel side down.
Melt the remaining package of CandiQuik, along with the leftover chocolate from the first package, and pour it over the shortbread, letting it flow down the sides, so the shortbreads are completely covered. Save a few tablespoons of chocolate for later use
Return the loaf pan to the refrigerator until the chocolate has completely set.
Remove the candy from the loaf pan, let it reach room temperature, then remelt the last of the chocolate and patch any rough spots you might have. You can also make the top of the bar look a little nicer.
Cut it into slices and it's ready to enjoy.
Thanks to Gibby Gibster for the awesome logo design.

🤣shore bought stortbread!🤣 Love that you share these bloopers with us!

[@RandyMakesCandy]

They're my favorite part of the videos. 😂

[@RayaHope]

SOOOO GOOD!

[@RandyMakesCandy]

Thanks! It was kinda wacky fun to make. 😊

[@lanceharsh7025]

Can't cut it bigger. Words to live by😂. Looks great!

[@RandyMakesCandy]

Thanks for your support, compadre! 😊

[@overthinking365]

Very good video as always, this looked tasty I'm going to have to try this sometime

[@RandyMakesCandy]

Hefting a 3-pound Twix bar is a laughably impressive experience. 😂

[@Ourhomeschooladventures]

Looks great and a better alternative for us than store bought candy 😊

[@RandyMakesCandy]

It's great to have control over the ingredients.

[@jessicarobinson1133]

Yummy!!!

[@RandyMakesCandy]

And enough to share (maybe). 😁

[@soychelly836]

Twix used to be one of my favorite candy bars before I went vegan five years ago🤤 would love to see more giant candy bars maybe a snicker next 👍🏼

[@RandyMakesCandy]

Yeah, a giant Snickers could be fun. The hard part would be sourcing giant peanuts. 😂 Maybe I can do an episode on Vegan Twix bars. 😊

[@soychelly836]

That would be so awesome Randy but I wouldn’t want you to go through any trouble on my account. I love watching your videos whether they are vegan or not 👍🏼😊

[@RandyMakesCandy]

I've done a few keto episodes and I've been meaning to do something vegan for a while now. You've given me that last little bit of motivation. 😊

[@stevewakefield5001]

Would be great if you could give us a peanut butter twix too. Thanks for your great work, I really appreciate your videos!

My wife and I want Twix now. (Or millionaire's shortbread bars!)

[@RandyMakesCandy]

I should probably do a millionaire shortbread bar episode. 😉

[@kirsten07734]

@@RandyMakesCandy great idea!

[@RandyMakesCandy]

Ok, it's going on the list. 😁

[@kirsten07734]

I’m a homemade shortbread fiend. So anything shortbread inclusive gets 👍👍 from me.

[@RandyMakesCandy]

I was take it or leave it with shortbread, but I'd only had store-bought. Now that I've tried homemade, I'm a huge fan. 😍

[@chaosjihad6217]

Ah, the confectionary version of Rick Nielsen's Quint Neck guitar! Bigger has to be better!

[@RandyMakesCandy]

This would probably start getting messy after a few riffs, though.

[@janmchaney7912]

I’d like to try these but more on a normal size..lol what size of a pan to use if you could share that information. Thanks. Always appreciate and enjoy your videos.

[@RandyMakesCandy]

If you want to make Twix that are similar to store-bought, you can make the shortbread, cut it into finger-size pieces, spread the caramel filling on each piece, and dip them. If you want to try the loaf idea, you can use whatever size loaf pan that's closest to the size you'd like and cut the shortbread to fit.

[@Ultrapunk1]

Not to get controversial but did anyone else see this and think of "shrinkflation"? Lol...

[@RandyMakesCandy]

I guess this would be literal "inflation". 😁
