Ingredients

Ingredients for crust

  • 1 cup butter room temperature
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Ingredients for filling/cheesecake

  • 2 ½ cups chopped TWIX candy bars
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature (2 - 8 oz. packages)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • caramel sauce homemade or store bought is fine

Instructions

Directions for crust

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. With a wooden spoon mix together flour and baking powder and then blend into butter mixture. Mix until it's has an even consistency and all ingredients are incorporated.

  3. Line an 11x7 baking dish with foil and spread dough evenly on the bottom, pressing with your fingers to even out.

  4. Bake for 14-17, or until edges are lightly browned. Set on wire rack and cool at least one hour.

Directions for bars

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

  2. With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs on medium speed until smooth. Be sure to get out all clumps.

  3. Using a spoon stir in 2 cups of the chopped TWIX candy (reserve the remaining ½ cup for the top)

  4. Pour mixture on top of the crust, spreading evenly. Bake at 325 degrees until set, 45 - 50 minutes. 5. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.

  5. Place chocolate chips inside a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, and continue to microwave in 30 second increments until melted (stir, microwave, stir, microwave, etc).

  6. Drizzle light layer of melted chocolate over the top of the bars. Then sprinkle the remaining chopped TWIX candy. Drizzle 2nd layer of melted chocolate over the top, and then drizzle layer of caramel sauce over the top.

  7. 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 cut 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.
  • Makes 16 bars, but this depends on the size you cut them. You can easily make them smaller bars and have more out of a batch.
