Just a quick post while I prepare myself for the crazy weekend coming up at work. It’s Reagan’s Centennial on Sunday and the museum’s grand re-opening, so we’re expecting HUGE crowds and lots of business! Here’s a cookie to get you guys through this madness…
My favorite candy bar has and always will be Twix. Something about the caramel, shortbread, and chocolate reel me in every single time. When I saw a recipe that involved a copious amount of candy bars, I bought a huge bag of Twix and went straight to the kitchen. These cookies were wonderful. The Twix’s texture didn’t change much in the oven, but the caramel did feel gooey straight out of the oven. The caramel that did happen to melt out of the cookie hardened a bit, but no harm there! Recipe from Sprinkled with Flour.
