Ingredients

16 ounce thawed pound cake {or a fresh pound cake from the bakery section}

Caramel Layer

1 cup caramel bits {or individual caramels}
2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Chocolate Layer

1 cup milk chocolate chips
½ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Begin by removing the thawed frozen pound cake from the foil pan and placing it onto a serving plate.

Caramel Layer

Combine the caramel bits and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments until the caramel is completely melted and smooth. Pour the caramel over the top of the pound cake. Spread it out, trying to keep most of it on the top of the cake. You may need to use an off-set spatula to get an even layer.

Chocolate Layer

Combine the milk chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, whisking in between. Continue to microwave in 30 second increments and whisk until you get a thick and smooth ganache that will easily pour over the top of the caramel and cake layer. Let it drip over the sides and create an outside coating to your Twix Cake.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and then serve. Cover leftovers and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Notes

Making chocolate ganache in the microwave is a cinch. For best results, microwave in 20-30 second intervals and whisk until you get a gorgeous and glossy melted chocolate.

Be sure to refrigerate the cake for at least an hour. This will allow the caramel and chocolate to both set up and help to give you a nice clean cut when serving.
