how to make Rolo Twix Bites
Ingredients:
- 1 (11 oz) box Mini Nilla Wafers
- 1 (8 oz) bag Rolos
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Place half the Nilla Wafers on your baking pan, with the flat side facing up. Add a Rolo on top of each Nilla Wafer.
- Bake in the oven for 90 seconds to soften the Rolos. Remove from the oven and immediately sandwich another Nilla Wafer on top.
- Place the baking sheet with the Rolo sandwich cookies in the fridge for 10 minutes to help the Rolos firm up again.
- Meanwhile, combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Working one by one, dip each Rolo sandwich cookie into the melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place it back on the lined baking sheet.
- Return the baking sheet to the fridge once more to set the chocolate coating before enjoying!
