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. They are perfect for a potluck, cookout or just a special treat for your family.

Twix Bars Recipe:
Ingredients for Caramel filling:
- 1 c. Graham Crackers, crushed
- 3/4 c. Brown Sugar
- 1/3 c. White Sugar
- 1/3 c. Milk
- 1/2 c. Margarine
Ingredients for Frosting:
- 2/3 c. Peanut Butter
- 1 c. Milk Chocolate Chips
Directions:
- 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 the caramel filling ingredients.
- 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 fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes
For frosting, combine peanut butter and chocolate chips in small bowl. 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.

Update: If you live somewhere that you are not able to buy Club Crackers, Mel Cotte shared a recipe with shortbread for the base.

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…

@Ann Kroeker,Hmm, I don’t know about the plate. I only have a single one. I will look though.
Thanks for visiting Ann!

Oh, wow. An entire tray full of my favorite candy bar? So dangerous!!!
i’ll have to give this recipe a try. i’ve got several boxes of club crackers stocked in the garage and this sounds like the most delicious use for them

OH those look delicious!! YUM!
We don’t have Club Crackers here in Canada. Can you please recommend another kind. My kids and I LOVE Twix Bars!
@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!
~Liz
Very interesting, never thought of using these types of crackers for twix!
Oh my holy cow. This very pregnant lady is about to gobble up the computer screen a la Cookie Monster. I NEED some!!

Oh my gosh! YUM! I grew up in Indiana and my aunt used to make these for us when we were kids! Thanks for bringing back some great childhood memories!
Wow! I found a recipe in a British cookbook that my hubby bought for me once for Millionaire’s Slice that looked great so I made them. Can you imagine my joy when it tasted just like a Twix bar!! So, we call them homemade twix bars and they are my brother-in-law’s favorite dessert. Whenever his birthday rolls around, I always know what to give him! My recipe is much different from yours as you make a shortbread crust that bakes, but so delicious…maybe I’ll try yours next summer to compare!

The shortbread crust sounds like a great alternative. There were some over-seas folks that couldn’t find club crackers.
Let me know what you think! Thanks for visiting!
~Liz
maybe to save some time on the shortbread you could use Chess cookies from Pepperidge Farm?
WOW, thanks! These look absolutely amazing! I can’t wait to give them a go.
Ooh, I have to try these!

Fabulously clever! I will definitely be trying this! Seems like you could throw in some other ingredients and it’d be another candy bar!

Stumbled Upon this and these look so phenomenal. Um, yum.
I made these in a slightly larger pan, so they were thinner. I didn’t have peanut butter chips, so I made them with vanilla & left out the chocolate chips too. (I have people who can’t do chocolate. ) Next time I will get the peanut butter chips to do it right.
I took them to the Senior Citizen Center dinner & had 2 people ask for the recipe!
Just wanted to tell you that I made these over Thanksgiving and my family absolutely loved them. I will definitely be making these again.
Thanks so much for letting me know Beth! I’m glad you and your family liked them!
Happy Baking!

Wow, these WERE great! I made some and took to my sister’s for our belated Thanksgiving. These were a big hit! Thanks for the recipe!!!

I am going to make these tonight. Trying out first to decide if I’ll make these for my cookie swap next week. They sound yummy!!!!!
Let me know what you think…I bet you will love them!
~Liz
Wow! These look soooo good. I am going to try and make these tomorrow. Thanks so much!
There’s a few more good treat recipes @ http://inspiringpretty.blogspot.com/search/label/Recipe
I would think sunflower butter would work in place of the peanut butter. One of my friends has a kid with a peanut allergy and they use sunflower butter instead of peanut butter, just not sure if she’s ever done that in a recipe like this. Good luck!
I stumbled on this recipe, made it, and fell head over heels in love with it. Then I wrote about it. (http://bit.ly/f114N5) Thank you!!!
These look delicious. I love Twix bars. Now I’ll like them even better.
thanks for commenting on my blog, on the twix link that I shared! We just made them AGAIN, for the 2nd time this week to take to a family thing today.
SOO yummy!! I sent lots of people your way, on my FB and my blog!
great recipie! i changed the recipie up a bit- extended the chocolate mix (used toffee bits instead of the butterscitch) so i could put a layer of chocolate on the bottom. (i lined my dish with parchment to make for easier cutting) i also used a smaller dish than the recipie recommended so i suggest expanding the caramel mixture also. my house smelled incredible after making these, btw! i highly suugest starting with a layer of chocolate- oh, i used dark chocolate instead of milk and a natural peanut butter with flax seed, and would maybe suggest a light sprinkling of kosher salt on the top layer, i found the end product to be very sweet and was suprised that the club crackers weren’t salty enough.
wow! thats pretty creative. i may try that this weekends. it looks good too.
This is such a cute idea
I’m going to make these for my siblings when I get home

Did you find a replacement for the Club crackers? I also live in Canada. I can’t think of a buttery cracker.
Can’t wait to make these. I love that they are no-bake.

These look AMAZING!! They remind me a little of the yummy Salted Caramel Bars that Starbucks is selling. YUM!

Hi, I plan on making these tonight, just a quick question, do you have to use margarine or could you use butter? Thanks! They look delish!
I usually use margarine, but butter is fine too. Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
These look tasty; thank you for sharing.
Question, the recipe calls for crushed Graham Crackers and in the directions (and pictures) it says Club Crackers. Do I need Graham Crackers or just Club Crackers?
You need both. The graham crackers are crushed and put in the caramel mixture and the club crackers are the base of the Twix Bars.
Sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Made these for friends at work they were a big hit. Everyone has been asking me to make them again. Only thing is the second time making them I got the hot caramel mixture on my wrist and now i have a pretty scar that isnt gonna go away
Thanks for adding the link to my bars! Happy New Year!
Liz,
Oh my goodness!
I must try these!
