Chris's Birthday Cake

I made a cake for Chris's birthday that encompassed all his favorite desserts. It turned out amazingly good and what it lacked in looks it made up for in tastyness. It's my Twix carmel cheese cake. It contains a gram-cracker crust with brownie, a layer of caramel, cheese cake with cut up Twix bars, and topped off with caramel and chocolate drizzled.

Recipe:

1 box brownie mix
2 eggs
1 package of wrapped caramels 14 oz
1 5oz can evaporated milk
2 8oz packages of cream cheese
12 mini Twix bars
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 pie tin with gram-cracker crust

Preheat oven to 350.
Mix up brownies following instructions on the box. Pour half of mix onto gram-cracker crust. The other half of the mix can be used to make regular old brownies.

unwrap the caramels and place them in a pot with the evaporated milk.

Cut up Twix pieces into small bit size pieces.

Mix softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Once mixed add one egg at a time and mix. Then add in Twix pieces.

Put brownie into oven for about 10-15 minutes.
While it's cooking bring caramels to a simmer and stir frequently melting the caramels.
Pull brownies out of the oven and add a layer of caramel then add cream cheese mix on top of the caramel. Put back in oven for 40 mins.

Once cooked pull out of oven and drizzle remaining caramel on top along with some fudge if you would like. Let cake cool in fridge over night.

Enjoy!
