Twix Cookies

This recipe came to me in the parking lot of At Home. In the car with my husband, the exchange went a little bit like this: 

GASP "WHAT if I put dates on top of crackers and dip them in chocolate? HOMEMADE TWIX!" After my husband almost had a heart attack from my sudden recipe outburst, he agreed it sounded delicious!  

This simple, 3 ingredient recipe is rich, caramel-y, and oh-so delicious. 

You will need: 

Your choice of round crackers 

Dates

Dark chocolate bar or chips

This recipe is as simple as it gets. Throw your dates in a food processor until a big sticky ball forms. Take a butter knife and gently (emphasis on GENTLY) spread a thick layer of your date puree on your crackers. Casualties will be had in the form of broken crackers. Try not to curse too much when this happens. You may need to warm your date paste in the microwave for 20 seconds to make it a little softer.

Once all your crackers are ready, throw them in the freezer while you melt your chocolate! You can melt it in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring frequently to prevent your chocolate from burning. 

Dip your crackers in the melted chocolate and then put them back in the freezer to set!

Aaaaand Ta-da!

Ahh. Chocolate-y heaven.
