Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray; set pan aside.
  • Cut each Fun Size Twix bar into thirds and set the pieces aside. Unwrap the 10 caramel candies and set them aside for the sauce.
  • Place the chopped unsweetened chocolate and cubed butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment, until the butter is melted and the chocolate is smooth.
  • Stir the chocolate-butter mixture until fully combined and smooth. Whisk in the sugar until incorporated, then whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  • Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the chocolate mixture, stirring just until no dry streaks remain (do not overmix).
  • Spread half of the brownie batter evenly into the prepared pan (use a spatula to smooth the surface). Arrange the Twix pieces in an even layer over the batter.
  • Spoon the remaining half of the batter over the Twix layer and spread gently to cover the candy pieces as evenly as possible.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking). Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Once the brownies are completely cool, lift them from the pan using the foil and transfer to a cutting surface. Cut the brownies into squares.
  • To make the caramel sauce, place the unwrapped caramel candies and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring frequently, until the caramels are melted and the mixture is smooth. Drizzle the warm caramel over the cut brownies and serve immediately.
