These Gluten Free Twix Biscuits are a genius idea! They’re a shortbread biscuit topped with caramel and chocolate. Whilst I would like to take credit for the original “twix” cookie idea, I have to thank Pinterest for that.
I also have to thank my husband for making an excess amount of caramel (for another baking project) that just so happened to be free to use for these Gluten Free Twix Biscuits. He tells me the caramel recipe he used was a little time consuming so to save time I’ve suggested ready made caramel from the supermarket for these biscuits. They will be sure to taste just as good!
