Equipment

  • Cupcake Pan
  • Saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tube of refrigerated sugar cookie dough
  • 10 ounce bag of caramel squares
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup milk chocolate chips
  • Coarse salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Spray cupcake pan with non-stick spray.
  • Squeeze some sugar cookie dough into each cupcake cup. Start with about 3 tablespoons and press into the sides and bottom of each cup, molding it into the shape of each cup.
  • Add more sugar cookie dough if needed. Repeat with all 12 cupcake sections.
  • Bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes or until the cookie dough is lightly browned.
  • Let cool completely.
  • In a small saucepan, heat ½ cup of the heavy cream until steaming, but not boiling.
  • In a bowl add the chocolate chips. Once the milk is hot, pour over the chocolate chips and let sit for a couple minutes. Stir until all the chocolate chips are melted and smooth. Set aside.
  • In another saucepan add the caramel squares and ¼ cup of the heavy cream. Melt over medium heat, stirring every so often so the caramels don’t stick. Once the mixture is melted and combined, remove from the heat.
  • At this point the sugar cookie cups should be cool enough to remove from the pan. Use a butter knife if necessary to help remove the edges of the cups from the pan. Transfer the cups to a platter, pan or clean surface.
  • Place a large tablespoon of the melted caramel in each sugar cookie cup. By the time you finish all 12, the caramel should have cooled a bit to where the chocolate won’t mix when added on top.
  • Scoop tablespoons full of the melted chocolate mixture on top of the caramel until the sugar cookie cup is full to the top.
  • Sprinkle it with sea salt to balance the sweetness of the dessert.
  • Let these Twix cookie cups set in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy or store in a tightly sealed container!
