Heavy cream – Adds creaminess and helps achieve that luscious, velvety texture.
Sugar – Balances the bitterness of the chocolate with a touch of sweetness.
Egg yolks – Provide richness and help thicken the chocolate cream gently.

For the Caramel Layer

Soft caramel candies – Melt these smoothly to create the signature buttery caramel layer that makes Twix Chocolate Pots unforgettable.
Butter – Enhances caramel’s silkiness and adds depth to the flavor.
Heavy cream – Makes the caramel pourable yet luxurious, blending perfectly with the chocolate below.

For the Crunchy Topping

Crunchy biscuit pieces – Use digestive biscuits or shortbread to replicate the classic Twix’s satisfying crispness on top.
Sea salt – A pinch highlights the sweetness and balances the layers beautifully.

How to Make Twix Chocolate Pots

Melt chocolate: Chop dark chocolate into small pieces. Set over simmering water and stir gently until completely smooth, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Heat cream: In a saucepan, warm heavy cream and sugar over medium-low heat until tiny bubbles appear around edges, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Temper yolks: Whisk egg yolks in a bowl. Slowly drizzle a ladle of hot cream into yolks while whisking. Return mixture to saucepan and cook, stirring, until it coats the back of a spoon, 2–3 minutes.
Fold chocolate: Remove pan from heat and whisk in the melted chocolate until glossy and no streaks remain. Pour silky chocolate cream into serving pots and refrigerate for 1 hour.

For the Caramel Layer:

Make caramel: Combine soft caramels, butter, and heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until mixture is smooth and pours easily, about 5 minutes.
Layer caramel: Let caramel cool slightly, about 2 minutes, then spoon it evenly over the chilled chocolate. Return pots to fridge and chill for another 30 minutes until set.

For the Crunchy Topping:

Toast biscuits: Roughly crush digestive biscuits into coarse crumbs. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast crumbs for 1–2 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle toasted crumbs and a pinch of sea salt atop each pot just before serving to highlight all layered flavors and satisfy that iconic candy crunch.

Optional: Serve with whipped cream and extra biscuit crumbs.

How to Store and Freeze Twix Chocolate Pots

Fridge: Keep Twix Chocolate Pots covered in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. This preservation method maintains their creamy texture and rich flavor.

Freezer: For longer storage, freeze the pots for up to 1 month. Be sure to wrap them in plastic wrap and then foil to prevent freezer burn.

Reheating: While best enjoyed cold, if you’ve stored them in the freezer, allow the pots to thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. Avoid reheating, as it may compromise their creamy texture.

Twix Chocolate Pots Recipe FAQs

How do I know if my chocolate is good quality for Twix Chocolate Pots?
Look for dark chocolate that has at least 60% cocoa content. The chocolate should have a smooth texture and a deep, rich aroma. Avoid chocolate with lots of added ingredients or low cocoa percentages to get that silky, intense flavor in your pots.

Can I store Twix Chocolate Pots in the refrigerator, and for how long?
Absolutely! Store your Twix Chocolate Pots in an airtight container or cover them tightly with plastic wrap. They will keep perfectly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, maintaining that creamy texture and layered flavors.

Is it possible to freeze these pots for later enjoyment?
Yes, you can freeze Twix Chocolate Pots for up to 1 month. First, cover each pot with plastic wrap and then wrap again with foil to prevent freezer burn. When ready to eat, thaw them overnight in the fridge. Just sprinkle fresh toasted biscuit crumbs on top after thawing to revive the crunch!

What should I do if my caramel layer becomes grainy or hard?
If the caramel turns grainy, it might have cooked too quickly or at too high heat. Try reheating gently over very low heat while stirring constantly until smooth. To avoid this, always melt caramel slowly and stir continually. Adding the butter and cream slowly also helps create that silky texture.

Are Twix Chocolate Pots safe for pets or people with allergies?
This recipe contains dairy, eggs, and gluten (from the biscuit topping), so it’s not pet-friendly and may trigger allergies. For allergy-friendly alternatives, try coconut cream instead of heavy cream and use gluten-free biscuits or crushed nuts for the topping. Always check individual ingredient labels carefully!
