These Mini Twix Tarts taste just like a Twix bar! Mini pre-baked tart shells filled with homemade caramel and finished with milk chocolate and chopped Twix bars. If you love Twix candy bars, this bite-sized treat is for you.
I adore Twix bars: shortbread, chewy caramel, and silky milk chocolate — pure perfection. These mini tarts capture those layers in a small, elegant bite. I used store-bought pre-baked tart shells to keep the recipe quick and stress-free: simply thaw and bake according to package directions, then let them cool.
For the caramel layer, I used my homemade caramel sauce because it’s creamy and melts in your mouth. If you prefer a chewier texture that more closely resembles the caramel in Twix bars, melt a bag of Kraft caramels in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth, then spoon into the tart shells. Fill each shell a little under halfway to avoid overflow when topping with chocolate.
Once the caramel is in place, add a generous layer of milk chocolate — the same chocolate type used in Twix. You can swap in semisweet or dark chocolate if you prefer a less sweet finish. Spoon or drizzle the melted chocolate over the caramel; if you fill the tarts too high the caramel can spill, so err on the side of slightly less filling or drizzle the chocolate more lightly.
To finish, sprinkle chopped Mini Twix bars on top and drizzle extra caramel and melted chocolate for maximum indulgence. The combination of flaky tart shell, gooey caramel, smooth chocolate, and chopped Twix pieces gives you all the flavors and textures of a Twix bar in a fancy, bite-sized form.
These tarts are simple to assemble and great for parties, dessert tables, or an anytime treat. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or slightly warmed for a gooier texture.
