A little while back I shared with you the recipe and short directions on making Twix Bars, but I never did a step by step for you.
These no-bake Twix Bars were 2nd. place at the Indiana State Fair several years back, and are a HUGE hit everytime I take them to share with people.
Begin my putting a layer of Club Crackers in a 13 x 9 pan, I can fit 24 crackers in.
In a saucepan on the stove, combine…
- 1 c. Graham Crackers, crushed
- 3/4 c. Brown Sugar
- 1/3 c. White Sugar
- 1/3 c. Milk
- 1/2 c. Margarine
Bring to a boil, continue to stir and boil for approximately 5 minutes (I usually go a little less). The mixture will be caramel like and pull away from the sides of the pan.
Pour over the crackers, being very careful, the mixture is extremely hot.
Immediately top with another layer of Club Crackers, pressing down slightly
Place in frig to chill for at least 30 minutes
For frosting, in small bowl, combine
- 2/3 c. Peanut Butter
- 1 c. Milk Chocolate Chips
Microwave for 2 minutes, stir well and frost crackers
Place in frig until frosting is firm. Cut into bars. I usually cut each cracker in half, it makes the batch go a little farther and they are very rich.
And yes, they taste just like a Twix Candy Bar. These are great anytime of year, but especially for summer since they are No Bake. They would also be great to take on a picnic or potluck.

How about a non peanut option? Have any ideas for not using peanut butter. I have kids with allergies.

@Sara, I would think any chocolate frosting might work. They may not taste the same, but I think they would still be good.
Thanks for visiting, Sara!

My husband (and two of the kids) LOVE Twix candy bars–if they know I can make them as easily as this, they’ll be asking for them all the time!
Are those plates Willow Ware? I may inherit a set of them someday…

@Kim, Wow, you know several people have mentioned that. I’m not really sure. Do you have Townhouse? I suppose any buttery type cracker would work.
Let me know if you have more questions!
