Twix Bars
Ooey gooey goodness of a homemade candy bar! These Homemade Twix Bars are easy to make and taste amazing!
These Homemade Twix Bars are a recipe that I have been making for many, many years. In fact, they received Second place at the Indiana State Fair years ago. I grew up in the 4-H community and participated in the fair when I was a young girl. Later on, after I was married, I found my way back to the County and State Fair Open Class Division, baking and crafting for many years. It was a very busy time in my life, but one that brings back great memories.
Not only were these Twix Bars always a hit at the fair, they are always a HUGE hit everytime I take them to share with people. They are perfect for a potluck, cookout or just a special treat for your family.
The base of the Twix Bars are Club Crackers, the filling is a caramel mixture made on the stove top with graham crackers, butter, brown sugar, white sugar and milk. Another layer of Club Crackers, then into the refrigerator they go to set up.
The frosting is a combination of milk chocolate chips and peanut butter. Then back into the refrigerator for the frosting to set up.
These No Bake Bar Cookies are perfect for Summer, or really great anytime of year. I usually include them on my Holiday Cookie Trays as well because everyone loves them. And yes, in my opinion, they taste just like a Twix Candy Bar.

Thanks for the recipe. They look yummy!!!
Oh I recently had this recipe, super yum!
saw this link over at the diaper diaries, and these look GOOD! I’m printing out the info right now! wonder how easy it would be to incorporate caramel?
@Erin G, The part of the recipe that is made in the pan with the butter, brown sugar and corn syrup, etc. Is caramel. That’s what you are making in the sauce pan.
Lovely recipe, (although I’m sure they would melt in Atlanta summer heat!)
Yum! Twix Bars are one of my favorites!
