Twix Bars

I hear this is very good! almost better than the real thing.

35 unwrapped kraft caramels
1/4 cup water
1 box Lorna Doone shortbread cookies (40 cookies)
2 12 oz. bags milk-chocolate chips .

1. combine caramels with water in small pan, melt over low heat.
2. place the cookies side by side on ungreased cookie sheet.
3. spoon a dab of caramel onto each cookie, then place all the cookies in the refrigerator until the caramel firms up.
4. in the meantime, melt chocolate chips in double boiler or microwave heating 1 min on high, stir, then 1 more min.
5. remove the cookies from frig. resting each cookie on a fork, dip into chocolate. tap the fork on side to knock away excess chocolate. place on wax paper and cool at room temp. this will take several hours but the bars will set the best this way. putting in the refrigerator for 30 min will speed up the process.
