On making Twixt Bars

While I was at Mary's in Aylmer, P.Q., she had an evening where she promised her kids home-made Twixt bars.

What, I thought.  You can make those.  I thought, seeing will be believing.

I left to go to Montreal before we had consumed the whole pan.

Mary said that Leo and Xavier will only eat one small slice a day, so she took them to church on Sunday to let her friends taste them and finish them off.

They have been on my mind lately.

Here is a link to the recipe that we used.

Be assured that using butter in the crust, and a high quality chocolate for the topping really works for these bars.

Instead of chocolate chips Mary used a couple of large Jersey Milk Chocolate Bars.

These would also be good using a high quality dark chocolate bar.

Enjoy.

So Mary tells me a funny story about the day after making this recipe.   She was eating the second last of the twix bars she had hidden away for Rhiannon.

Naomi came by and asked for a bite. She then decided that she liked them after all and that if you eat them in one bite (so not dissected) they are really good. She asked to have the last one in her lunch today. Mary complied.

Now Mary will have take that shortbread crust out of the freezer (that she had planned to make into lemon squares) and make another batch of Twixt bars for Naomi. Too bad she had given them all away at church before Naomi decided she liked them.

Now I want to make them here in Montreal.

Catherine said, please don't.  They sound like they will add another few pounds. I will make them and put a big sign on them:  No Adults.  For Teens Only.
