Twix Brownies

The Twix cookie layer added just the right amount of crunch. Thank you My Baking Addiction

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate; coarsely chopped
3/4 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
12 Fun Size Twix Bars, each cut into thirds
10 individually wrapped caramel candies (I used Kraft)
2 tablespoons heavy cream

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with foil and spray with non stick cooking spray.
• Microwave chocolate and butter in a large bowl microwave-safe bowl at medium for 3-4 minutes or until butter is melted.
• Stir until chocolate is melted. 
• Whisk in sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. 
• Gradually add in flour; stir until just combined.
• Spread 1/2 the batter into prepared pan. 
• Add an even layer of chopped Twix candy bars and cover with remaining 1/2 of brownie batter. 
• Bake for 30-35 minutes; do not over bake.
• Remove to cooling rack to cool completely. 
• Just before serving, cut brownies and prepare the caramel sauce.
• To make the caramel, place the caramels and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. 
• Microwave on 50% power in 30-second increments until the caramels begin to melt 
• Stir frequently. 
• Continue warming and stirring the caramels until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. 
• Drizzle over each brownie and serve immediately.
• The brownies are very fudgy, make sure you allow them to cool completely before cutting into them.
