Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with a light coating of butter.
  3. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Making the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until thoroughly combined.
  3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Fold in the sour cream and caramel sauce followed by the chopped Twix bars.
Baking and Cooling
  1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top gently.
  2. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  3. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for about 1 hour.
  4. After an hour, allow it to cool at room temperature and then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Garnishing
  1. Melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the cheesecake before serving.
  2. Add extra caramel sauce and chopped Twix bars on top for garnish.

Notes

Ensure ingredients are at room temperature for easy mixing, don't overmix the batter, and cool the cheesecake gradually to prevent cracking. Refrigerate for at least four hours or overnight for perfect set.
