Twix Bars

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.

  1. Begin my putting a layer of Club Crackers in a 13 x 9 pan, I can fit 24 crackers in
  2. In a saucepan on the stove, combine the caramel filling ingredients
  3. 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
  4. 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

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.
