Top Tips for Making White Chocolate Twix Bars
- Don’t Overwork the Shortbread Dough
Mix just until the ingredients come together to ensure the base remains tender and crumbly. - Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pan for Caramel
This prevents hot spots and ensures even cooking, so your caramel doesn’t burn. - Chill Between Layers
Allow the shortbread to cool completely and the caramel to set before adding the chocolate layer for clean and precise bars. - Cut with a Warm Knife
To get neat edges when slicing, warm your knife in hot water, wipe it dry, and cut through the bars carefully. - Customize the Chocolate Layer
Add a drizzle of dark or milk chocolate over the white chocolate coating for a decorative touch or to balance sweetness.
Storage Advice
- At Room Temperature:
Store the Twix bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days if your kitchen is cool and dry. - In the Refrigerator:
For longer storage or in warmer climates, keep them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving to enhance the flavor and texture. - In the Freezer:
Freeze the bars in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between layers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.
