Twix Blondies are what sweet caramel dreams are made of! Take a buttery, brown sugar blondie, and load it up with tons of chopped Twix Bars, sea salt and chocolate chips. These homemade blondies are extra chewy with crunchy bits of shortbread baked inside!
Chocolate Chip Twix Blondie Bars With Sea Salt
This is an older recipe of mine that I posted back in 2010. I have been on a kick going through my old posts and updating the pictures. Turns out that way back in 2010 I was a little confused on what a “good picture” was.
Anyhow, I knew these candy bar blondies deserved another day in the sun.
Because they’re good. And you’ll like them.
Plus, I’m all in whenever Twix are involved. Except, can we just chat a quick minute? This is a PSA to the makers of the TWIX bar. Twix are classic and fantastic and everyone loves them. BUT, Twix makers, how about a little sprinkle of sea salt on top. I mean SALTED CARAMEL TWIX? Why isn’t that a thing in the world?
So for the sake of humanity I went ahead and sprinkled a little extra sea salt on top of these. It’s the right move.
An Easy Blondie Bar Dessert Recipe
They are super easy, actually…and pretty knock-out. The blondie itself could actually be the base recipe for ANY add-in candy bars…I mean Snickers, Milky Way, it’s really up to you!
Of course I am a huge Twix girl, and the crunchy shortbread pieces the Twix leave in the blondies is one of my favorite parts!
Try not to eat too many Twix beforehand though. Turns out one CAN have too much of a good thing…just speaking from personal experience.
They bake up perfectly, but make sure that you let them cool completely before cutting into bars! And like I said a little flaked sea salt on top is a good idea.
I’m really glad I revisited this recipe!
Hope you enjoy!

Description
Twix Blondies are what sweet caramel dreams are made of! Take a buttery, brown sugar blondie, and load it up with tons of chopped Twix Bars, sea salt and chocolate chips. These homemade blondies are extra chewy with crunchy bits of shortbread baked inside!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 cups light brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon flaked (or coarse) sea salt
- 2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 30 mini Twix bars coarsely chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional – more flaked sea salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 9×13 baking pan with foil and coat with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine the butter and brown sugar on low speed. Add in the eggs, vanilla, baking powder and salt and mix until smooth.
- With the mixer still on low add the the flour and mix until just combined.
- Stir in the Twix and chocolate chips until evenly incorporated.
- Spread batter into prepared pan and bake 25-30 minutes until the edges are set and the center is almost set.
- Cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
You could also make this recipe without the stand mixer. A bowl and a wooden spoon will work just fine!
*Be sure to cool the bars completely before cutting. I often chill mine to make the bars pretty.

Oooh. Yummy idea. I have a bunch of milky ways leftover from something. Wonder how they'd work in a blondie? Wheels are turning…
Ooh yumm! I am drooling!
What a great way to use up leftover candy!
yum!! i was in target and was behind this old lady who took forever. she had to make sure you got credit for her 2 coupons…when she handed the clerk 3. there was 2 coupons for 1 item so then she had to pick which one she wanted to use. then she asked the cashier to put the dog food in a plastic bag so she could transport it more easily (the rest of her items were in a reuseable grocery bag). and then after she walked away, she came back and said "hey don't i get a nickel back for bringing my own bag??" LOL i was thinking to myself "ummm you still used a plastic bag!"
Oh, I love Twix! I can't even imagine biting into one of these. Great photos.
These look eggcellent! Hehe, get it? Egg-cellent, because it was Easter candy.
OK, sorry. I can get a bit corney. 🙂
The blondies look killer and I would love to have a pan of those right now. Even if it is 7 in the morning. They would go great with this cup of coffee.
omg I HATE people like that. If they catch me at the wrong time I give them a sharp look and say, "Excuse me, just a second!" Not yelling, but on the loud side so other people can hear. It kind of shames them.
Meanwhile, YUM on those blondies!!!! YUM!!!
WOW!!! looks heavenly
Whoa! Those look incredible!!!
Yeah, I hate that at the store. I try to use cash, so trying to stuff change and a mile long receipt in my wallet take just a MINUTE!!!
My pet peeve in the grocery store is when the person in front of me thinks every one of their items needs 6 inches of clearance on every side. They have 7 items, but they are taking up the entire "belt." STACK people!
Oh, and talking on cellphones at the check out….hate that!
lol lol lol..I am BIG on personal space. I CANT stand when people get in mine..so I dont get in theirs.Funny story…I was in the post office a few months back..I stood there, my normal "far away" from the person in front of me, and there was this elderly lady literally up my ass and every time the person in-front of me moved up on line..she would say to me, "you better move closer or someone will take your place". I was polite the first 4 times she told me to move closer to the person in front of me..but the last time I snapped!
