This is one of those recipes that you know is going to be good even before you make it. I mean seriously. A cookie along the bottom, brownie in the center, and caramel layer and chocolate on top? These were amazing! When I found the recipe I saw comments that the cookie layer on the bottom wasn’t hard enough. Well I thought everything about these brownies were perfect. I feel like brownies are supposed to be nice and chewy. The cookie bottom was still hard to resemble a twix but not too hard taking away from the brownie. These take a little bit to prepare but are totally worth that first bite!
Twix Brownies
Ingredients
Crust Layer:
- 1 package (12.8 oz.) Simply Sandies Shortbread Cookies
- 6 Tablespoons Butter
Brownie Layer:
- 1 box 9x13 brownie mix
- Ingredients on the brownie mix box Usually eggs, oil, and water
- 1/4 cup hot fudge topping
Caramel Layer:
- 1 bag (14 oz.) caramels
- 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
Chocolate Topping:
- 1 bag (11.5 oz) milk chocolate chips
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Grease the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Â I would highly suggest lining the pan with parchment paper. Â This made it very easy to lift out of the pan and cut the brownies.
- Put the cookies into a food processor until very fine. Â In a medium bowl melt the butter. Â Add the cookies to this and mix until moist. Â Press into the bottom of the 9x13 pan.
- Prepare the brownie mix as directed on the box but also add in the ¼ cup of fudge topping. Â Spread on top of cookie. Â Cook the brownie mix as directed and let it cool completely.
- Melt cream and caramels together over medium low heat on the stove until caramels are melted and creamy. Â Pour this evenly on top of the cooled brownies. Â Let cool until set. Â You can speed up the process by placing the brownies in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
- Lastly, melt the chocolate, butter and heavy cream together and pour over the caramel layer. Â Let this cool. Â Serve and enjoy.

Glad you enjoyed my brownies:)
Yes! They were great! And I was just going to comment on them and ask you a few things…. Your brownie layer looks thicker than mine… Did you use 2 boxes of brownie mix?? And also your chocolate layer on the top looks smoother than mine did….
