Albeni, which is the Turkish equivalent of Twix, I believe, was my fav candy bar growing up.
And now I’ve figured out how to make them at home, whenever I crave one.
It only took me a few steps but the fact that this all came together in a small bowl is a win in my book. The recipe will bake 6 small snack-size bars, double it for a loaf pan size and quadruple of an 8×8 baking dish if you have more than a couple takers like me.
My stir-together “caramel” isn’t as creamy and gooey as regular caramel but it tastes the same and it hit the albeni/twix spot, so as far as I’m concerned this is the recipe!
Made with all good for you ingredients and they’re now Gav’s favorite thing that I’ve ever made.
Let me know if you give these a try!

- Microwave chocolate coating ingredients 30 sec at a time and stir until all chocolate is melted. Dip each frozen bar in chocolate, place them back on parchment and freeze/refrigerate to set the chocolate.
