Making The Peanut Butter Twix for Christmas!

 

Today we are making Peanut Butter Twix! Our eldest daughter, Joy, always loved the original Peanut Butter Twix candy bars when Twix still made them. Now the company makes the PB Twix with chocolate cookies. We make her Peanut Butter Twix, like the original ones. It isn't hard and only uses 4 ingredients. Lorna Doone shortbread cookies, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk chocolate chips.

 

You start with the Lorna Doone cookie. Open the package and place the cookies on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet.

 

Mix together 1 cup of smooth peanut butter and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. You can use a spoon or a fork to mix it. You do not have to use a mixer, just mix it in a small bowl.

 

 

 

Using a knife place the peanut butter mixture onto the individual cookies. I angle the peanut butter towards the center, from the center down towards the edges.

 

 

Next pour the milk chocolate chips into a microwaveable dish and microwavwe it for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave an additional minute. Stir. The chips should all be melted.

 

 

Turn the cookie over and lightly coat the bottom of the cookie with the melted chocolate.

 

 

Place the cookie with the chocolate coated bottom, chocolate side down, on the waxed paper.

 

Use the knife and pick up a bit of the melted chocolate. drip and coat the peanut butter mix on the cookie. Only touch the peanut butter mixture LIGHTLY, as you don't want to push the peanut butter mixture off of the cookie! 

 

 

Don't forget to coat the edges and encase the whole cookie in a thin layer of chocolate. I find that the melted chocolate smooths over the peanut butter easily.

 

 

 

If the chocolate in your bowl begins to set up, microwave it for one minute and stir. It will be 'drippy' once again!

 

 

 

 

When the cookies are all coated you can either wait a couple hours for the chocolate to harden, or you can set the tray into the refrigerator and in about 30 mins. the chocolate will be hardened.

 

 

 

Enjoy!
