Recipe - M And M Caramel Twix Bars

35 Unwrapped Kraft caramels
One fourth cup Water
1 Box Nabisco Lorna Doone
shortbread Cookies; (40)
2 Bags milk chocolate chips;
(12 oz)

Combine the caramels with the water in small pan & melt over low heat.
Place the shortbread cookies side by side on an ungreased cookie sheet.
Spoon a dab of caramel onto each cookie. Then place all the cookies in the
fridge till the caramel firms up.

In the meantime, in a double boiler over low heat, melt the chocolate
chips. You may also use the micro for melting the chocolate. Just zap the
chips for 1 minute on high, stir, then zap 'em for another minute. Remove
the cookies from the fridge. Rest each one on a fork and dip it into the
chocolate. Tap the fork on the side of the pan or bowl to knock off any
excess chocolate. Then place each one on a sheet of waxed paper and let
them cool at room temperature (6570 degrees F.).This could take several
hours, but the bars will set best this way. If you want to speed up the
process, put the candy in the fridge for 30 minutes only.Makes 40 bars

To make Peanut Butter Twix Bars...Substitute 1 cup of peanut butter
sweetened with One half cut powdered sugar for the caramels. The peanutbutter
mixture will be of a consistency that allows you to spread it on the
shortbread cookies with your fingers. Follow the rest of the directions
exactly.
