I’ve made my own Twix before, but the process can be tricky. The shortbread base often crumbles when you cut it, so even though they taste good, the bars often look a little lopsided and messy. Not very satisfying for a perfectionist like yours truly. Fortunately for you and me that nitpicking devil on my shoulder, I recently had the best brainstorm ever. I realized that if I used prepackaged shortbread cookies, I could create Twix-like squares with minimal mess and effort. It’s faster, easier, AND much neater? That’s like an OCD hat trick right there.
Happy National Shortbread Day!
