TWIX Cheesecake Bars with Chocolate & Caramel Drizzle

Drool.

Seriously though, you’re drooling, right?  I cannot get enough of these ‘Bites’.  Mars candy has really outdone themselves with this product. From Snickers Bites to Milky Way Simply Caramel Bites, and now they have TWIX® Bites.  TWIX® Bites!!!! My all time favorite candy bar in a bite size package. Cannot. Get. Enough.  When I heard these were being released a few weeks ago, I knew I had to get my hands on them ASAP and make my all time favorite dessert, cheesecake, with them.  TWIX® + Cheesecake is the perfect marriage, and I was not about to object.

I decided I wanted to make the cheesecake in bar form, because it’s so much easier to eat. You can just pick it up and take it to go, unlike a big slice of pie/cheesecake.  I wanted to make a crust for the bars that resembled the cookie inside the TWIX® candy, because I didn’t want to distract from the main TWIX® cheesecake flavor with a more elaborate crust.  Plus, I figured these bad boys would already be very sweet with all the toppings I had in mind.

Making the bars was actually pretty easy, and I would highly recommend you make these for ANY party/event where you need to bring a dessert. These are seriously the best dessert I’ve made to date, and I am not just saying that. I can’t wait until I can eat another five one.  I almost thought that I should only do one topping, either chocolate or caramel to avoid it being too sweet, but you need both. Yes, you need both.

  7. 8. Chill until firm, about 6 to 8 hours or overnight. Cut in bar slices and serve!
Recipe Notes

**If you want a cleaner cut when making the bars, you can make everything and then chill for 6-8 hours. After they are completely chilled you can cit into bars, and then add all the toppings (chocolate drizzle, TWIX Bites, and caramel sauce) to each individual bar. If you are concerned about their appearance this may be a better option as they won't be as messy when you cut them up in the end.

    I think the pan size is incorrect. I made the crust in an 11 x 7 pan and it was much too thick. I think a 9 x 13 would work better.
