I’m quite fond of baking with candy bars. I’ve put Kit Kat’s in Lemon Bars, Heath Bars in Cheesecakes, Snicker’s Bars in Tarts, Butterfingers in Blondies & Pie & Cookies, and Milky Ways in Brownies too. It was time to experiment with Twix. I took my all-time-favorite brownie recipe, and added Twix Bars to make Twix Bar Brownies. Adding candy bars to desserts is basically a great idea! I don’t know about you, but I always feel guilty about buying a candy bar at the store to just eat and enjoy. But if I buy them to add to desserts I’m making at home, somehow I can justify that as being okay!
This recipe makes a lot of brownies. Depending on how large you cut them, they serve 24 to 36 people. They’re super rich, so I do recommend cutting them in 36 pieces. Plus, more people get to enjoy them when there are more brownies to go around. These Twix Bar Brownies are the brownies I like to serve at very large gatherings of both kids and adults. They’re always the first dessert to disappear.
The crunch of the cookies stays intact in the baked brownie, and the chocolate that surrounds the cookie-caramel layers protects the caramel from melting into the fudgy brownie. I think they are pretty addicting, and I’m always happy to have people around who are willing to gobble them up quickly!
