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.

Yum! Twix Bars are one of my favorites!
Lovely recipe, (although I’m sure they would melt in Atlanta summer heat!)
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.
Oh I recently had this recipe, super yum!
Thanks for the recipe. They look yummy!!!
Those look amazingly delicious! Great now I am craving chocolate!
I will definitely try this. Thanks for the recipe.
Yummy! We have a birthday party here this weekend. I think I might have to add this to the menu! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Thank you! Twix is my husband’s favorite candy bar.

Those sound so yum! Thanks for sharing!
Wow. I cannot wait to make these. My husband will be forever grateful for you sharing this recipe. Blessings!
Mmm, my mouth is watering! Thanks for a great recipe!
I just made your Twix bars! I’m waiting for the chocolate to set up! I added a little shortening to the chocolate chips (which I doubled) because my daughter doesn’t like peanut butter and chocolate together. I was hoping you wouldn’t mind if I link back to your blog?
Sure that’s great! Thanks for visiting!
My 13 year old son helped me make these and they turned out really good! My family LOVED THEM! Thanks!
I made these the other night and they’re awesome! The only thing that I wish I did was line the pan with plastic wrap or something so I could easily lift the batch out to cut it up. If its okay with you, I’ll be doing a post on my sites (A Couch With A View & Extraordinary Mothers) and linking back here!

Wow! These look so delicious and super simple! I keep looking for desserts that don’t take much time, effort, or ingredients. This looks perfect! Thanks for the recipe!
I just made these! I’m waiting for the chocolate to set, but I’ve already tried one and it’s good. I didn’t think about what power setting to melt the chocolate and peanut butter on, so I just stuck it on high for two minutes… not good results!
@Jan, Really? Your microwave must be really powerful. Mine, is really old. Sorry…hope they turn out good. Thanks for letting me know you tried them!
~Liz
Oh wow they look YUM! I am not familiar with those biscuits you used – are the crackers on the bottom sweet, plain or savoury? And what are graham crackers? Sweet plain biscuits? I am wondering if what we call wine biscuits are similar? (they are sweet plain biscuits that are used as crumbs in unbaked slices, etc).
thanks, Karen
.-= karen @ restyled vintage´s last blog ..When I picked up the Retro Dining Chairs today, =-.
@karen @ restyled vintage, The crackers are Club Crackers and they are made by Keebler. The graham crackers are just called Graham Crackers and are made by lots of different companies.
Hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by!

Made these with my son yesterday. They taste just like the real thing! Thanks so much for this recipe.
These look delicious! I have a different recipe (using saltines) but i think yours look better. I’ll have to try them!
Thanks!
For those overseas who don’t have either graham crackers or club crackers in their markets: I’ve searched and found both digestive biscuits and wheatmeal biscuits suggested as alternatives for graham crackers so they must be a sweet crumby type of biscuit. I guess wine biscuits would also do. I couldn’t find a suggested substitute for Club crackers but I found an ingredients list and they also seem to have a sweetness, unlike the more savoury type of crackers normal in New Zealand. Which would make more sense in this recipe.
love this recipe new one to me but oh so good and perfect for summer snacks
Oh my gracious! I think I just died and went to twix bar heaven!

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!
~Liz
You could try marshmallow fluff from a jar instead of the peanut butter.
Use vanilla or butterscotch chips
OOOOO…sooo amazingly good!! Thank you!
