Crumbl Review: Caramel Shortbread Cookie ft. Twix
This one is built around a really familiar flavour profile — chocolate, caramel, and shortbread — so going in, it already feels like something you know you’ll like. The question is always whether it actually delivers that Twix balance or if one part takes over.
The base of the cookie leans into that shortbread style. It’s softer than a traditional shortbread, but you still get that slightly dense, buttery feel. It’s not dry, which is important, but it still gives that “structured” bite that makes it feel different from a regular sugar cookie.
The caramel layer is where things start to stand out. It’s smooth, slightly thick, and adds that sticky sweetness you expect. It doesn’t completely flood the cookie, which helps keep things from getting messy or overwhelming.
Then you have the chocolate on top, which ties everything together. It’s not overly rich or dark — it’s more of that classic milk chocolate flavour that works well with the caramel instead of competing with it.
The balance overall is actually really solid. You get the buttery base, the sweetness from the caramel, and the chocolate rounding it out. Nothing feels out of place, and it all blends into that recognizable Twix-style flavour.
Texture plays a big role here too. You’ve got the soft but slightly firm base, the smooth caramel, and the light chocolate layer. It keeps each bite interesting without being chaotic.
What makes this cookie work is that it doesn’t try to overdo anything. It sticks to the classic combination and executes it well.
Final Verdict:
A really well-balanced cookie that nails the caramel + chocolate combo without overcomplicating it.
