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.
