Ingredients

Scones:

Caramel Drizzle:

1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
2
In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using pastry blender or fingertips, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in chopped TWIX Holiday Minis.
3
In small bowl, whisk together egg yolk, cream and vanilla. Stir into flour mixture just until moistened (do not overwork dough).
4
Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface; knead a few turns, just until dough comes together. Divide into 2 portions.
- Pat each portion into 4-inch round to even 1-inch thickness. Cut each round into 6 wedges. Transfer wedges to parchment paper–lined baking sheet.
5
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool in pan on wire rack.

6
In small saucepan, set over medium heat, stir together brown sugar, cream and butter; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 to 5 minutes or until thickened.
7
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
8
Drizzle caramel over scones and sprinkle with chopped TWIX.
Tip
For an extra golden brown sheen, brush tops with a little light (5%) cream before baking.
Tip
Alternatively, pat dough into one large rectangle and cut into 12 squares; or, using 2-inch round cutter, cut dough into 12 rounds, rerolling scraps as needed.
