Twix Candy Bar Mousse Cake Is A Chocolate-Lovers Dream
No one will guess this decadent showstopper comes together with only 5 ingredients
At the end of a steamy summer night, my sweet tooth calls for something chocolate. Cue this Twix Candy Bar Mousse Cake. It’s so easy with just 5 ingredients, from crispy Twix candy bars to rich dark chocolate chips and fresh raspberries. I like Ghirardelli chocolate chips as they melt smoothly, but Nestlé’s or Hersheys are also delicious. I love the look of the shiny coating on this cake, called ganache. Ganache is a fancy name for a heavy cream-chocolate glaze. I also like to spoon it over pound cake or as a swap for hot fudge on ice cream or even a dip for fresh fruit.
