Homemade twix or millionaire's shortbread - video recipe!

Ingredients

Shortbread:

• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup flour

Toffee:

• 2/3 cup butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 14 ounces condensed milk
• 7 ounces milk chocolate

Materials

• Square 8-inch mold
• Parchment paper

Preparation

• Shortbread:
  Mix the softened butter with the sugar. Once it becomes creamy, add the flour, and knead until it forms a ball.
• Line the mold with parchment paper and place the dough in it. Spread it out with your hands. Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
  
• Toffee:
  Melt the butter and add the sugar. When the mixture boils, add the condensed milk and mix well.
• Then, over medium heat, stir constantly until the mixture caramelizes, meaning it turns brown. This takes about 10-15 minutes.
  
• Pour the toffee directly over the shortbread in the mold, then refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Melt the milk chocolate, then pour it over the toffee. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
  
• Finally, remove the shortbread from the mold and cut it into squares (Millionaire's Shortbread) or bars (Twix).
• And there you have it, your homemade Twix are ready!
  

Observations

Storage: up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator, stored in an airtight container.

Shortbread: this is a biscuit originating from Scotland, while the "Millionaire's Shortbread" comes from Australia.

For a "Twix" effect: to make your preparation resemble the famous candies, cut it into pieces before adding the chocolate. Once your bars are separated, you just need to cover them with chocolate.
