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.

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!

My 13 year old son helped me make these and they turned out really good! My family LOVED THEM! Thanks!
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!
