Moving on...
That is a Homemade Twix Bar. Looks pretty good, right? NOPE. NOT GOOD. Listen, I have to tell you guys something really important. Are you listening? Sometimes I screw up.
Although, I don't really blame myself, I blame this recipe (a lovely blog, however). I wasn't a fan of a few things, but mainly the addition of sweetened condensed milk in the caramel and ground rice in the shortbread. The milk made the caramel too sweet, too light in color and bland in flavor. And the ground rice took away from the buttery goodness of the shortbread, making it oddly crunchy. If I try these again, I'm going to make my own caramel and my own shortbread. The End.
pictures anyway...
I only dipped a few in chocolate, then I gave up and ate the rest of the melted chocolate with a spoon. I'm fat.
