Receta Twix N Tween
This month’s Bundtamonth arrived at lightning speed. Time flies when you’re having fun right? Candilicious is our theme for October, dentists will be thrilled with our creations I’m sure. Anuradha and Lora are so good at picking our themes and we are thankful to have them at the helm. My first inclination was to do a mash up of my favorite candies. Snickers, M&M’s with Peanuts, Almond Joy, Lindt Truffles and Twix all mixed up together somehow sounded gross. I probably would have eaten it, but it sounds gross and downright gluttonous. So Twix it is. Let me clarify; Twix with chocolate chips and walnuts!
The recipe called for Milky Way or Snickers, but I had my heart set on Twix. Also, per the recipe you have to melt the candy with 1/4 cup of butter. Don’t know if you’ve melted a Twix before, but they don’t go down without a fight. I was the the pieces that didn’t melt all the way would stick to the pan. A couple did but I pried one of them away and popped that little baby back into place. You can probably guess what happened to the other one!
This Candilcious concoction is moist and just sweet enough not to be overpowering. I had my requisite taste tester serving and packed up the rest to send to work with Charisse. Her coworkers will have their sweet cravings satisfied once again. I’m so happy she works with a crew that loves sweets.
