Ingredients:

200 g digestive biscuits or any plain biscuits
250 ml heavy cream
400 g sweetened condensed milk
100 g butter
150 g brown sugar
200 g milk chocolate
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Directions:

Prepare the base:
Crush the biscuits into small pieces using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-lock bag and smashing them with a rolling pin. The texture should resemble coarse crumbs.

Make the caramel filling:
In a saucepan, melt the butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Once the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth, add the sweetened condensed milk. Stir constantly, bringing it to a gentle simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens into a caramel sauce. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract, if using.

Assemble the layers:
In a rectangular or square baking dish, press the crushed biscuits evenly into the bottom, forming a firm base. Pour the caramel mixture over the biscuits, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set the caramel layer.

Prepare the chocolate topping:
In a heatproof bowl, melt the milk chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Once smooth, pour the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Let the cake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for another 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is firm.

Serving and Storage Tips:

Serving:
Slice the cake into squares or rectangles and serve chilled. It’s perfect for any occasion like family gatherings, parties, or a simple treat with a cup of coffee.

Storage:
Store the Ciasto Twix bez pieczenia in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The dessert can also be frozen for longer storage. Just make sure to wrap it well in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before freezing. Let it thaw in the fridge before serving.

Variations:

Nutty Twist:
Add some chopped nuts like almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans on top of the caramel layer for an extra crunch.

Dark Chocolate:
If you prefer a richer taste, swap the milk chocolate for dark chocolate for a more intense flavor profile.

Biscoff Biscuits:
Instead of using digestive biscuits, try using Biscoff cookies for a unique, spiced twist that complements the caramel.
