Searching for a delicious partner for your ice cream? We’ve got the perfect match. Try our Caramel Shortbread Brownies – a layer of chocolate brownies topped with shortbread, caramel, and a tasty chocolate ganache.
Inspired by one of the tastiest candy bars on the market, the delicious Twix bar, our Caramel Shortbread Brownies are nothing short of awesome. One thing is that they can get a little sweet, so we highly recommend them underneath a scoop of ice cream. We even would like to try them blended into a shake. This isn’t the first time we’ve tried making a Twix-inspired dessert. Remember our Chocolate Caramel Tarts? There are a little classier than just plopping down a Twix bar for dessert.
