Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Base

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Caramel Layer

  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the cookie slab later.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter along with granulated sugar and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until combined to form a soft cookie dough. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture tender.
  4. Form and Bake Base: Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared 9×13 inch pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cookie base to cool completely on a wire rack while still in the pan.
  5. Spread Caramel Layer: Once the cookie base is completely cooled, spread the caramel sauce evenly over the top. If the caramel is thick and difficult to spread, warm it gently in the microwave until soft and pliable before spreading.
  6. Melt Chocolate and Top: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer and spread it all the way to the edges for full coverage.
  7. Chill and Cut: Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour until the chocolate layer is firm and set. Then, use the parchment paper to lift the entire slab out of the pan. Place on a cutting board, trim edges if desired, and cut into bars or squares. Store the bars in an airtight container and enjoy your homemade Twix-style treats!

Notes

  • Use high-quality caramel sauce for a richer flavor or make your own for a homemade touch.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk or dark chocolate according to preference.
  • Make sure the cookie base is fully cooled before adding caramel to prevent melting and mixing layers.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container refrigerated for up to one week.
  • For a softer cookie base, slightly reduce flour by 2 tablespoons.
