Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, making sure there’s enough paper hanging over the sides for easy lifting later.In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. Slowly add the flour and salt, stirring until a soft dough forms. The dough should be thick but easy to press.Transfer the dough into the prepared pan and press it evenly across the bottom, creating a smooth and compact layer. Bake for about 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before adding the next layer.Step 2: Prepare the Creamy CaramelWhile the shortbread cools, make the caramel filling. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the soft caramels, heavy cream, and butter. Stir continuously until everything melts into a silky, smooth mixture. If you like a little contrast in flavor, add a small pinch of sea salt.Pour the warm caramel over the cooled shortbread base and spread it evenly with a spatula. Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes so the caramel can firm up slightly.Step 3: Create the Chocolate LayerFor the final layer, melt the chocolate chips together with the coconut oil or butter. You can do this in the microwave using short intervals or over a double boiler, stirring until smooth and glossy.Pour the melted chocolate over the chilled caramel layer, spreading it gently to cover every corner. If you want extra texture and flavor, sprinkle crushed Twix bars, flaky sea salt, or a drizzle of more chocolate on top.Step 4: Chill and SliceReturn the pan to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.Once chilled, lift the dessert out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares or bars.Serving SuggestionsServe these bars cold for a firmer bite, or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes if you prefer a softer caramel center. They pair perfectly with coffee, tea, or a cold glass of milk.Why You’ll Love These BarsThese Buttery Twix Bliss Bars are everything you love about the candy bar, but richer and fresher. The crumbly buttery base, gooey caramel center, and smooth chocolate topping create the perfect balance of texture and flavor. Easy to make and impossible to resist, they’re guaranteed to disappear fast once served.
