Instructions
For the Shortbread
Place all of the ingredients together in the bowl of a standing mixer.
4 Cups All Purpose Flour,
1 Pinch Salt,
1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla,
1 Cup Sugar,
4 Sticks Butter
Mix on low until the dough just starts to come together and increase to medium until a ball of dough forms.
Place the dough on saran wrap in a flattened disk.
Place in the fridge for 1 hour. (you can skip this step depending on how crisp you want the shortbread)
Roll out to about 1/4-1/2" thick and slice into "sticks". I found that creating a very small channel in the top helped to hold in the caramel.
Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
Let cool completely.
For the Caramel
Heat the caramel and evaporated milk together in the microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth.
2 Cups Caramel Squares,
2 Tablespoons Evaporated Milk
Let the caramel cool for a minute.
Using a teaspoon, scoop a little caramel and drizzle it down the length of the shortbread. I used my finger to help everything go in the right place.
Let the caramel harden for a few minutes or until smooth, and not sticky to the touch.
For the Chocolate
Heat in a microwave safe dish (I preferred to use a Pyrex 8x8 for easier dipping), stirring occasionally until smooth.
1 Package Almond Bark
Let cool for a minute and drop in the twix.
Use a fork to push chocolate over the top of the candy, slide the fork under the length of the candy and let a little drip off.
Place on a parchment lined baking sheet until the chocolate has hardened.
Enjoy
These can be stored in an airtight container, or frozen.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in a cool location
