Twix Candy Bars
35 caramels - unwrapped
2 12-oz. bags milk chocolate chips
1/4 c water
1 box (about 40) Nabisco Lorna Doon Shortbread cookies (square) or Walkers shortbread (long stick)
Combine the caramels with the water in a small pan and melt over low heat. Place the shortbread cookies side by side on an ungreased or lined cookie sheet. Spoon a dab of the melted caramel on the cookie. Place all cookies in the refrigerator until firm. Melt the chocolate chips in a double broiler or in the microwave. Remove cookies from the refrigerator and dip each one into the melted chocolate. Tap off excess and place on wax paper. Let them set up at room temperature - can take up to several hours depending on the heat and humidity of your home.
