Chocolate Caramel Twix Cheesecake

We were entertaining Bill’s partners and their wives. I knew I needed a showstopper of a dessert. This Twix Cheesecake, sliced and doused with homemade caramel sauce, was the perfect solution!

I turned to Hugs & Cookies XOXO for this amazing recipe which started with the famous Junior’s cheesecake recipe. Danielle made an easy 3-minute caramel sauce and I turned to my microwave caramel sauce. Both are fabulous and add that necessary component of the Twix Bar to this dessert.

A thick layer of ganache provided the requisite chocolate. Are you swooning yet??? Our guests certainly did!
Thanks again to my lovely friend, Danielle, for another magnificent recipe! She is my go-to blogger for decadent treats. I promise you will love whatever you try from her blog!!! We share a recipe from each other’s sites every second Monday of the month.
Check out Danielle’s  social media sites! Plus make sure to stop by her blog and check out which of my recipes she made this month, too.
