5) Bake 35-45 mins until the crust is lightly golden brown on top and the edges are deeper golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately run a knife around the edges to loosen the crust. Set it aside to cool completely.
6) FOR THE CARAMEL LAYER: Melt the caramel and cream over low heat in a small saucepan. Pour the caramel over the cooled crust and set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill and firm up.
OPTION 1 FOR THE CHOCOLATE LAYER (EASIEST OPTION): Melt the chocolate slowly in the microwave and pour evenly over the chilled caramel layer and spread to coverall of the caramel. Return to the fridge until the chocolate is well set. Cut into bars or squares. It's best to store these bars in the refrigerator but take out a few mins before serving to soften.
OPTION 2 FOR THE CHOCOLATE LAYER (BIT MORE TIME CONSUMING BUT YUMMY): Cut into bars once the caramel has chilled and dip each bar individually into the melted chocolate. Lay on wax paper in fridge until set.

These look amazing! I can't wait to try them!
Twix bars rate high in my world...thanks so much for sharing this recipe at Scrumptious Sunday!
That's it, I am going to make these!! They look awesome! Look at that perfect layer of caramel, it's just calling to me!
You wouldn't by chance have this in the Java Twix version??? They were my absolute favs then were discontinued.
I wonder if you can substitute Peanut Butter in for the Carmel on these and turn out like PB Twix? Either way I'm making these, they look soooo good! :-)
That chocolate in the photo does not look like just pure milk chocolate. Melted, cooled chocolate does NOT cut like that nor form such perfect "waves". It looks to me like it's more of a fudge consistency. I've noticed with many recipe photos that they look a lot better than what the actual recipe would look like. Often the ingredients in the photo have been doubled or tripled or changed completely.
Actually, felicija what you see in this picture is MOST definitely melted chocolate bars-just as stated in the recipe. I made it myself and photographed it too. Flattered you think it looks too good to be true, but it is!
