    I'm wondering what commercially available biscuit is the most similar to the one in the middle of a Twix bar?

    Thanks

    Any shortbread should do it.

    Is it not shortcake rather than shortbread?

    Shortbread, despite the name, is more like a biscuit. Shortcake is fluffier and more like a cake.

    Are you sure? To me shortbread is the incredibly buttery Scottish stuff, which I can't stand. Shortcake is the stuff you get inside a yellow Snack or Cadbury's Shortie biscuits and which I quite like.

    Either way, I certainly wouldn't consider the interior or a Twix to be shortbread.

    Yeah I find Scottish shortbread much too sweet. Way sweeter than the twix biscuit

    Shortcake has a leavening agent, so its lighter/fluffier. Shortbread is the Scottish buttery stuff, but thats what is in a twix. I've made a giant twix before using lidl shortbread and it was a good match.

    The yellow cadbury bar is called cadbury shortcake alright, but it actually is a shortbread.
