1.In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar and salt. In a medium saucepan, heat the cream and buttermilk over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until almost simmering, about 5 minutes.

3.Using an ice cream machine, process the custard according to the manufacturer's instructions. Fold in the Twix, then transfer to an airtight container and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
