Twix Cookie Cups

The next time you need a quick and easy dessert that will turn heads, you HAVE TO make these Twix Cookie Cups! It's basically like a cookie cupcake version of the famous chocolate bar and it's ooey, gooey, and to die for. The base is a chocolate chip cookie that's chewy in the center, crispy on the edges in the shape of a cup, and then filled with caramel and chocolate!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chocolate chip cookie dough
  • 1/2 cup melted milk or semi-sweet chocolate
  • 11 ounce bag Kraft caramels
  • 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • flakey sea salt

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. To a nonstick cupcake baking tray, add about 3 tablespoons of cookie dough to each cup.
  3. Press the dough to form it into the shape of a small bowl/cup. Add more cookie dough or less as necessary to shape it.
  4. Pop in the oven to bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden on the edges.
  5. Take it out of the oven. It will have puffed up but that's fine. Using a spoon, press the center down and edges in to bring back that bowl shape.
  6. Allow them to cool down completely to room temperature.
  7. Once cool, make the caramel filling. Add the soft caramels and heavy cream to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, mixing in between each interval until it is completely melted and smooth. This took me 2 to 3 intervals.
  8. Fill each cup with about 1 to 2 tablespoons of caramel. Allow it to set for 15 minutes. You need to move fast before the caramel sets.
  9. Now add the chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl. On 50% power, microwave in 30-second intervals, mixing in between each interval until it is completely melted and smooth.
  10. Add a thin layer of chocolate on top of the caramel and finish off with a sprinkle of salt.
  11. Pop in the fridge for 10 minutes or until the chocolate on top is set.
  12. Take out the cookie cups from the tray and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you cannot get your hands on the caramels, you can always swap out that layer for just dulce de leche!
