I sure do love chocolate caramel Twix candy bars but after eating this cookie, I may never buy another Twix bar again. This cookie has got it going on, I tell ya!! The shortbread is delicate yet strong enough to hold up to loads of caramel and chocolate. It is sweet yet not overly cloyingly sweet thanks to the shortbread base. You will certainly be the hit of your next party if you show up with these beauties! That is, if you don’t eat most of them before you get there. Warning: Once you start eating these, it is difficult to stop!! Eat at your own risk! hee hee
