The first time I made a Little Caesars Twix Brownie at home, I couldn’t believe how quickly it disappeared. The brownie itself was rich and fudgy, but what really made it shine was the gooey caramel drizzle, silky chocolate topping, and chunks of Twix candy scattered across the top. My kids each grabbed a piece before it even cooled, and by the end of the night there wasn’t a crumb left in the pan.

Thankfully, this copycat version is easy to make with simple pantry staples — and it tastes just as good, if not better, than the original.

Make-Ahead Tips
You can bake the brownies a day in advance, then add caramel, chocolate, and Twix chunks just before serving. They store well at room temperature or in the fridge, making them a perfect make-ahead dessert for parties and gatherings.
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
2. Make brownie batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet until just combined.
3. Bake
Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).
4. Cool and top
Allow brownies to cool for at least 20 minutes. Drizzle caramel sauce evenly over the top, followed by chocolate sauce. Sprinkle chopped Twix pieces over the top.
5. Garnish and serve
For extra indulgence, drizzle more caramel and chocolate over the finished brownies. Slice into squares and serve.
Serving Suggestions
These brownies are a show-stopping dessert on their own, but they’re even better with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. For parties, cut them into bite-sized squares and serve on a platter. Pair with coffee, milk, or hot cocoa for the ultimate cozy treat.
Leftovers & Storage
Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for up to 2 months. To serve, thaw and warm slightly in the microwave for a gooey texture.
Nutrition & Benefits
While this recipe is definitely a sweet indulgence, it does bring a smile and satisfaction that makes it worth the treat. Cocoa provides antioxidants, and making it at home allows you to control portion sizes and use higher-quality ingredients than store-bought desserts. Sharing it with family also makes it a memory-making kind of recipe, not just a sweet snack.
