Homemade twix or millionaire's shortbread

Ingredients

Shortbread:

• 125 g softened butter
• 50 g sugar
• 150 g flour

Toffee caramel:

• 150 g butter
• 150 g sugar
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk (400 g)
• 200 g 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 pan with parchment paper and place the dough in it. Use your hands to spread and level the dough over the bottom of the pan. 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 low to 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 pan, 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 pan 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.
