Homemade Twix
May 23, 2012 § 22 Comments
Got a minute? Let me tell you what my life looks like right now.
Currently, I’m sitting at my dining room table with my laptop, 2 library books, 2 notebooks, several pens and pencils, and various research articles on Buffalo Soldiers and the Civil War. As you can probably tell, it’s almost crunch time.
No, I’m not studying for Finals. Heck, that thought hasn’t even entered my mind yet! I’m actually working on a research paper on Buffalo Soldiers and a debate on the Southern perspective of the Civil War. At the same time. I guess that’s what I get for procrastinating!
You know I procrastinate. A lot. I go on Facebook and Twitter like a normal teenager, waste an hour or two, and then I go on Foodgawker or Pinterest, find something I want need to make and then spend another hour or two making, eating, and taking pictures of it.
These Homemade Twix bites are a result of my procrastinating. What can I say? The second I saw them I knew I had to make them. How could I not?
I really should be making this post short, considering I’m procrastinating just taking a short break from my schoolwork, but I have to tell you how amazing these are. Right?
As a matter of fact, I’m eating one right now. A small square of buttery, not-so-sweet, shortbread topped with ooey gooey caramel, a drizzle of dark chocolate, and a few crystals of sea salt. It’s delicious, addicting, and utter bliss at the same time. Seriously, these Homemade Twix are what dreams are made of, people!
I could go on and on, but that library book on the Civil War is sitting right under my nose…taunting me…
The bottom line is that if you like delicious food, shortbread, caramel, and chocolate, you should make Homemade Twix. And if you don’t like delicious food, shortbread, and chocolate, you should make them anyway because you’ve obviously never tasted anything like them before.
So, yeah. While you’re busy running to your kitchen and making Homemade Twix, I’ll be hitting the books. Hard. After eating one more piece, of course. Brain food! 
What a delicious way to procrastinate!
The end of the semester is THE WORST–I totally feel your pain as I just finished my classes and am so relieved. Homemade candy bars have been on my baking to-do list for forever now…I really need to get around to making them soon!
This is my favourite way to procrastinate as well… these look fantastic!
That looks ridiculously gorgeous. Two library books is weak though
, when you hit the realm of 10-15 library books at one table come back to me 
. I used to be a really good procrastinator too – facebook is deadly and I suspect pinterest may be worse. Good on you doing a little research by the way – I have a degree in history 
. You should do one!
I am dreading the days when I will need that many books.
Haha – you’ll love it when you get there
I did.
Oh my gosh that looks amazing. My end of the semester was also especially brutal this year!
Best way to procrastinate….yum!
Delicious. I love making popular pre-packaged treats at home!
That is totally my favorite candy bar… a homemade version sounds awesome!
I love making homemade twix!!!
I’m a pro at procrastinating in the kitchen! These look great – I love that they don’t have too much chocolate on them (I might even eat one of the chocolate-free ones!) Mmm…
These look incredible!
Oh my goodness, I haven’t been able to have Twix in years since they started slapping the “may contain peanuts” label on them. I can’t wait to make my own at home! YUM!!
thanks for checkin out my blog! glad you were obsessed with the idea of homemade twix as i was/am
Thanks for the recipe! I really, really enjoyed them!
These look, and sound, absolutely perfect! Twix is a big favourite of mine in the chocolate world, and I have always planned on making my own so these definitely help to persuade me to finally do so! Gorgeous
Twix used to be my favorite candy bar when I was little! I’ll have to try making my own, these look so decadent!
Oh my, this looks decadently awesome! I loved twix when I was a youngin’
Now this is what I am talking about! Twix are one of my favorite candy bars! Yummy!
Honestly Erika these are sooo delicious!! can’t get enough of them – one when i get home, one while making dinner, one after dinner, one at night, etc. GREAT JOB!!
I guess you could call it procrastibaking!
