Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). In a large mixing bowl, blend together salted butter, powdered sugar, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract until crumbly. Press into a lined baking pan and bake for 40 minutes until golden brown.
  2. In a saucepan, combine salted butter, light corn syrup, granulated sugar, and salt. Stir in heavy whipping cream and cook over low heat until melted. Increase heat until it simmers without stirring until reaching 235°F on a candy thermometer.
  3. Remove caramel from heat, stir in vanilla extract, and let cool for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
  4. Pour warm caramel over the cooled crust and smooth it out. Refrigerate for 45-60 minutes until the caramel sets.
  5. Melt chocolate with heavy whipping cream using a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled caramel layer and spread evenly.
  7. Refrigerate the bars for 3-4 hours until the chocolate layer is firm.
  8. Cut into 32 squares and enjoy your homemade Twix Cookie Bars!
