- Crust
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- Caramel filling
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Chocolate ganache
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 5 ounces high-quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
Directions
- For crust:
- Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°F. Butter 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom. Blend flour, sugar, and salt in processor. Add 1/2 cup butter; process until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add egg yolks; process until moist clumps form. Add cocoa powder; blend in using on/off turns. Press dough onto bottom and up sides of prepared pan. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool in pan on rack while preparing caramel filling.
- For caramel filling:
- Combine sugar and 1/4 cup water in heavy medium saucepan. Stir over medium-low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high and boil without stirring until mixture is deep amber, occasionally brushing down sides of pan with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 7 minutes. Watch carefully,sugar may burn so fast.
- Remove from heat; add cream (mixture will bubble vigorously). Add butter and stir over low heat until caramel is completely smooth. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean; stir in salt. Cool 10 minutes. Pour warm caramel into crust. Let stand at room temperature until completely cool, about 45 minutes.
- For ganache:
- Bring cream to simmer in small saucepan. Remove from heat; add chocolate. Whisk until smooth. Let stand until slightly cooled but still pourable, about 10 minutes. Pour ganache evenly over caramel filling. Refrigerate tart uncovered until chocolate is firm, about 2 hours. do ahead Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.

I accidentally used half-and-half instead of heavy whipping cream this last time, and it turned out very well. It was not as firm, so I had to keep it in the freezer so it would keep its shape, but it was creamier. When paired with some really good vanilla bean ice cream, it is heaven. I'd recommend trying it sometime. I'm definitely using half-and-half for the caramel from now on, and heavy cream for the ganache.

I have made this at least 6 times in the last 3 months. This is a show stopper! And I think it tastes nothing like Twix. Way, way better, especially if you actually use good ingredients, unlike the 8% cocoa content chocolate they use in their candy bars.
