Twix bars

Crust:
1 1/4 c. flour
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter & 2 tbsp.
you can also smash chocolate chip cookies into the crust to make it a little sweeter. (smiths cookies are $1.08 and they work great.)
Melt butter. Stir flour and sugar together and add the melted butter. Pat into a 9x9 baking dish. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

Caramel:
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. brown sugar
2 tbsp. corn syrup
1/2 c. sweetened condensed milk

Boil ingredients over medium heat for 5 minutes; stirring constantly. Remove from heat and beat until thick. Pour mixture over crust. Cool.

Chocolate:
2 c. milk chocolate chips

Melt chocolate chips and spread evenly over caramel layer. Cool. Cut into bars.


Helpful hint: The recipe says to cool the caramel mixture before adding the chocolate layer. I found the last time I made these that since I let the caramel cool before adding the chocolate, once the chocolate was hardened it separated when I cut them into bars. I think if you add the chocolate while the caramel is still warm it will "fuze" together better and allow for the bars to stay in tact when cutting.
