Ingredients
  

  • 16 shortbread cookies Keebler recommended
  • ¼ cup salted butter melted
  • 5 cups vanilla ice cream softened
  • 3 standard-size Twix candy bars chopped and divided
  • ½ cup milk chocolate chips
  •

Method
 

  1. Prepare the DishLightly grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
  2. Make the CrustPlace shortbread cookies in a Ziplock bag and crush into fine crumbs using a rolling pin. Transfer to the baking dish, mix with melted butter, and press evenly to form the crust. Freeze for 20 minutes.
  3. Build the FillingIn a mixing bowl, combine softened vanilla ice cream with half of the chopped Twix bars. Spread the mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
  4. Add Toppings and FreezeSprinkle the remaining Twix pieces on top. Cover and freeze the cake for at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture.
  5. Finish with DrizzleMelt chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between bursts until smooth. Drizzle melted chocolate and caramel topping over the frozen cake.

Notes

  • Make sure the ice cream is softened enough to mix easily but not melted.
  • You can substitute Twix with other candy bars like Snickers or Milky Way for variety.
  • For a saltier twist, sprinkle crushed pretzels on top before freezing.
 
  • Perfect for make-ahead entertaining—just drizzle right before serving.
