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 (12.8-ounce) package Simply Sandies Shortbread Cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Brownie Layer:
- 1 (18.3 ounce) box brownie mix
- Ingredients required on the brownie box, Usually eggs, oil, and water
- ¼ cup hot fudge topping
Caramel Layer:
- 1 (14-ounce) package soft caramels
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Chocolate Topping:
- 1 (11.5-ounce) bag milk chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Spray the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan with baking spray, and line it with parchment paper. Preheat the oven according to the brownie package directions.
- Blend the cookies in a food processor until they are very fine. In a medium bowl melt the butter.
- Add the cookies to the butter and mix until well combined. Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Prepare the brownie mix as directed on the box but also add in the ¼ cup of fudge topping.
- Spread the brownie mixture on top of the cookie crust. Bake the brownie mix as directed and let it cool completely.
- Melt cream and caramels together over medium-low heat on the stove until the caramels are melted and creamy.
- Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the cooled brownies. Let it cool until set. You can speed up the process by placing the brownies in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
- Lastly, in a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the chocolate, butter, and heavy cream together.

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….
