Chocolate Caramel Twix Cheesecake

As a cheesecake fanatic, I couldn’t resist this candy bar inspired dessert with a thick creamy cheesecake layer, a generous ganache topping and a luscious drizzle of caramel sauce. Pure bliss!!!

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.
