Twix Pie: A Sweet and Easy Dessert Recipe

Calling all chocolate and caramel lovers! This Twix Pie recipe is the perfect way to satisfy your sweet tooth. It transforms the beloved Twix candy bar into a shareable dessert that's sure to be a hit with everyone.

This recipe is easy to follow and requires just a few simple ingredients. You'll start by making a buttery crust, which provides a delicious base for the creamy caramel filling and chocolate topping. The star of the show, of course, is the chopped Twix bars, which add a delightful crunch and a familiar taste to every bite.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup cold water
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (12-ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 (1.5-ounce) package Twix candy bars, chopped

Instructions:

For the Crust:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar.
2. Cut in the chilled butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate and press into the bottom and sides.
6. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

For the Filling:

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).

For the Chocolate Topping:

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.

Assembly:

1. Pour the hot caramel filling into the cooled pie crust.
2. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel filling.
3. Sprinkle the chopped Twix bars over the chocolate.
4. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours, or until set.
5. Slice and serve chilled.

Tips for Success:

• For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
• If you don't have Twix bars, you can use any other chocolate caramel candy bar.
• For a more decadent dessert, top the pie with whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Enjoy!
