Place chocolate chips inside a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, and continue to microwave in 30 second increments until melted (stir, microwave, stir, microwave, etc)

10

Drizzle light layer of melted chocolate over the top of the bars. Then sprinkle the remaining chopped Twix chocolate. Drizzle 2nd layer of melted chocolate over the top, and then drizzle layer of caramel sauce over the top

If you want a cleaner cut when making the bars, you can make everything and then chill for 6-8 hours. After they are completely chilled you can cut into bars, then add all the toppings (chocolate drizzle, Twix chocolate, and caramel sauce) to each individual bar. If you are concerned about their appearance this may be a better option as they won't be as messy when you cut them up in the end.
