Ingredients

  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • For the Toffee Layer:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Chocolate Topping:
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped Twix bars about 4 regular-sized bars

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Prepare the Crust:
  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter and sugar.
  • Press the Crust:
  • Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to help pack it down.
  • Make the Toffee Layer:
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the 1 cup of unsalted butter. Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring continuously. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add Vanilla Extract:
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour over the Crust:
  • Pour the hot toffee mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust in the baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out and make sure it covers the entire crust.
  • Bake:
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the toffee layer is bubbling and has a rich caramel color.
  • Add Chocolate Topping:
  • Remove the dish from the oven and immediately sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee layer. Let the chocolate chips sit for a few minutes to soften, and then use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate into a smooth layer.
  • Sprinkle with Twix Bars:
  • Sprinkle the chopped Twix bars over the melted chocolate layer. Press them gently into the chocolate.
  • Chill and Set:
  • Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the bars are completely set.
  • Cut into Bars:
  • Once the bars are set, use a sharp knife to cut them into squares or rectangles. You can make them as big or as small as you like, but a typical serving size is a 2x2-inch square.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
  • Remove the Twinkling Twixmas Toffee Bars from the baking dish and serve. Enjoy the sweet and crunchy layers of graham cracker crust, toffee, and creamy milk chocolate with a delightful Twix twist!
