## How to Make Chocolate Caramel Twix Cheesecake
### Ingredients:
#### Crust:
– 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 2 tbsp sugar
#### Cheesecake Filling:
– 24 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup caramel sauce
– 1 cup chopped Twix bars
#### Topping:
– 1/2 cup caramel sauce
– 1/4 cup chocolate chips
– 1/4 cup heavy cream

### Directions:
#### Prepare the Crust:
Follow these steps; preheat your oven to 325°F. Mix graham cracker crumbs, unsalted melted butter and sugar in a bowl and press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake it for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
#### Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Start by beating the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until it becomes smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Pour half of the mixture over the cooled crust, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with chopped Twix. Add the remaining batter on top and spread evenly.
#### Bake:
Bake the cake for 50-55 minutes or until the center is set. After baking, set aside to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
#### Add the Topping:
Finally, heat the caramel sauce until pourable and drizzle over the cheesecake. Melt the chocolate chips with heavy cream, mix until smooth and drizzle over caramel. Don’t forget to garnish with more Twix pieces before serving. Dig in!
