The caramel in the twix bars becomes more chewy and the biscuit retains in crunch. Its heavenly!
One of my favourite chocolates - Twix!
Twix Candy Bar Brownies
Adapted from: Recipe Girl
Makes 12 large pieces
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
3 oz / 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped semi-sweet chocolate
6 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 tsp instant coffee powder
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup granulated sugar (regular white sugar)
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tbsp baking powder
A pinch of salt
2 twix bars (singles) chopped into 1/2" pieces (chill before cutting)
How I Made It:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 180C. Grease an 8" brownie / cake pan and set aside.
2. In a pan set over another pan of boiling water, melt both the chocolates and butter together until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coffee powder, vanilla and sugar. Stir the egg mixture into the slightly cooled chocolate mixture. Cool to room temperature.
4. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; add to batter. Stir chopped Twix bars into chocolate mixture. Then pour into prepared baking pan and smooth top with a rubber spatula. You can reserve some slices and place on top too.
5. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean with a few crumbs attached; do not overbake! Let cool completely, then cover tightly and chill overnight. Chilled brownies are easier to cut and they actually taste better the next day.
These makes great gifts for a kid's birthday party or generally just bake them for friends and bask in their chocolate-y gratitude :)
