Frequently Asked Questions:
Do these really taste like Twix?
They have everything in them that the candy bar has. They look slightly different, however, if you chose to, you could pour the ganache over the entire top of the cookie. This will cover it more and look like a round Twix bar.
Could I use a white chocolate?
Yes, you could! Twis does have white chocolate bars as well. Recipes should be experimented with and made to what you would like.
What is the easiest way to soften the caramel?
The easiest method is to do as I have outlined in the directions. Unwrap and place all the caramels into a microwave safe bowl and add the heavy cream.
