These Twix-inspired chocolate pots only take about 15 minutes to prepare, then just leave them overnight to set. They're the perfect quick and easy dessert that are good enough to serve to guests!

I’ve made chocolate pots a few times in the past – chocolate pots with salted caramel, chocolate pots with peanut butter, even pink chocolate pots! The basic recipe is always the same, then you can add whatever tasty extras you like. This time I added luscious caramel and a biscuit base to make chocolate pots inspired by one of my favourite chocolate bars, a Twix!

I used these big glass ramekins for my Twix chocolate pots, purely because I wanted the three layers to be visible in the photos – but really, these ramekins are a bit too big. You could easily get away with making your chocolate pots half this size. They’re really rich! I’m not saying I didn’t eat a whole one of these enormous pots… but I probably shouldn’t have.

Ingredients

For the base:

100 g digestive biscuits, or similar - about 6 biscuits
45 g (~ 3 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
~ 8 tbsp dulce de leche or caramel sauce

For the chocolate layer:

50 g (scant 1/4 cup) unsalted butter
280 g (~ 10 oz) milk chocolate, broken into chunks
300 ml (~ 1 1/8 cups) double cream / heavy cream

Instructions

Place the digestive biscuits in a plastic food bag, and crush them thoroughly. Transfer them to a bowl, and add the 45g melted butter. Mix well.
Distribute the biscuit mixture between around 8 small ramekins, pressing it down firmly. Top each biscuit base with a spoonful of dulce de leche (or similar caramel sauce).
To make the chocolate layer, add the 50g butter, milk chocolate, and cream to a saucepan, and place over a low heat. Stirring regularly, heat the mixture gently until it all melts and forms a smooth, silky mixture.
Divide the chocolate mixture between the ramekins, then place in the fridge overnight to set. Serve chilled.

  Actually, I digestive cookie is a very plain cookie. Arrowroot or tea biscuit cookies could be used too.

  Digestive biscuits have low sugar, plain made with wheat flour, wonderful with a cup of coffee, they are great for making deserts such as this. I haven’t even seen them in America. I don’t know what would be equivalent. Sugar cookies are to sweet. Nilla wafers are also to sweet. I think animal crackers would be good substitute. Just my thoughts.

  Digestive biscuits can be found in Middle East specialty stores. I agree that animal crackers would be a good substitute.

  You can also find them in some grocery stores in their “ international “ isle. My local Stop and Shop has them. They are also available in Indian grocery stores

  I think the closest American equivalent in taste & sweetness would be graham crackers, but don’t crush them too fine, as digestives are more coarse in texture
