If you love Twix candy bars, you will flip for this Easy Homemade Twix Bars recipe! They are no bake, take just 4 ingredients to make, and they taste amazing!
No bake recipes are my favorite when I’m short on time. And easy recipes are my favorite all the time. This recipe for Easy Homemade Twix Bars totally fits the bill:
Easy? Check!
No Bake? Check!
Only 4 ingredients? Check!
Totally delicious? Double check!
I love when I can create a copycat recipe that is so simple. Seriously, anyone can make these. Let the kids help – they will love making their own candy bars!
Remember my super easy Tagalong recipe?? I may have made a batch of those twice this week alone. My hubby can’t get enough of them. Have you tried them yet? If not – do it now! Right after you make these 🙂
The only trick to these is finding the perfect caramel consistency. You want it soft, but not so soft that it runs off the graham cracker. I used 3 TBS of milk to soften my caramel. You want it to be soft and chewy, but not runny like caramel sauce.

Easy Homemade Twix Candy Bars
Ingredients
- 6 sheets Graham crackers
- 40 caramels (I used the Kraft caramels)
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 12 oz chocolate (can use chocolate chips, almond bark, candy melts, or any of your favorite chocolate)
Instructions
- Melt the caramels with 3 TBS milk in a microwave safe bowl for 1 minute. Stir and continue to heat for 30 seconds at a time until smooth. If it seems too thick, add the extra TBS of milk. You want it to be thick, yet spreadable - not runny.
- Break the graham crackers in half, lengthwise.
- Allow caramel to cool most of the way, then spread a thick layer of caramel on each cracker and let it set up and cool completely. Refrigerating them will make the next step easier.
- Melt the chocolate according to package instructions. Dunk each bar into the melted chocolate, making sure to cover the whole thing. Let excess chocolate drip off and let the bars set up on a sheet of wax paper.
- Store in a sealed container at room temperature.
- Try microwaving the bars for a few seconds for a gooey treat!

Thank you so much for this recipe! Having a peanut allergy has meant being away from this yummy delicious treat for years. Now I can make this at home with peanut-free products and FINALLY get to enjoy them again! Thank you!!
Stephanie says
Oh, I’m so happy! Hope you enjoy them 🙂
tanya1234 says
luv it thank u very much
CDouglas says
i’m gonna give this a try. other recipes require baking the crust. my peanut allergic daughter turns 18 next week and she can not eat twix or kit kats or other yummy delicious choco treats (thx Mars Inc. — FAIL). so we’re going to give this a try this weekend. cheers!
CDouglas says
update: WARNING death by chocolate! (if you can not resist the urge to dip 5-6+ spoonfuls of melting chocolate into your mouth as a ‘test’, then i suggest you get out of the kitchen! and you a clean spoon each time) otherwise the recipe was a big success! my ONLY suggestion and substitution was instead of using graham crackers, we used Pepperidge Farm Shortbread Homestyle Cookies. very delicious. oh, one other observation, the semi-sweet chocolate chips melted at a much better consistency than the milk chocolate chips. we tried both.
guinevere says
this sounds great, but Graham crackers and craft caramel…..wish i could get those here……..:
🙁

Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel says

sally @ sallys baking addiction says

Cate @ Chez CateyLou says
No bake recipes are the best in the summer! And these look SO good!
Kayla says
How does the graham crackers not crack when you dip them in the chocolate? I know mine will be mini little rectangles because they’ll break!
Stephanie says
Try using chocolate almond bark- it melts very well and gets nice and thin making it really easy to dip things into. Also, I think the layer of caramel helps strengthen the crackers. I didn’t have a single one come even close to cracking. You should be just fine 🙂 Hope you enjoy them, Kayla!
Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl says
