What You’ll Need for Homemade Twix Bites

To make your own Homemade Twix Bites, gather the following ingredients:

72 mini Nilla Wafer cookies (or regular-sized)
1 (7 ounce) bag of Rolos, unwrapped
8 ounces chocolate chips or melting chocolate wafers
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)

How to Make Homemade Twix Bites

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Assemble the Bottom Layer: Place 36 mini Nilla wafer cookies onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are spaced out for even cooking.
Add the Rolo: Put a Rolo candy in the center of each cookie. This will be the delicious gooey center of our treats!
Heat It Up: Place the baking sheet in the oven and heat for 90 seconds. This will soften the Rolos.
Top with Another Cookie: Remove the tray from the oven and gently place another cookie on top of each Rolo, pressing down slightly but not flattening the Rolo.
Chill the Cookie Sandwiches: Put the tray in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set and the cookies are firm.
Melt the Chocolate: While the cookies chill, melt your chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. If you’re using chocolate chips, add coconut oil to make the chocolate easier to dip.
Dip the Cookie Sandwiches: Once melted, dip each cookie sandwich into the chocolate, letting the excess dribble off before placing it back on the baking sheet.
Let it Harden: Refrigerate until the chocolate has completely hardened.
Store Your Delicious Treats: Store your Homemade Twix Bites in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
