These homemade Twix bars feature a buttery shortbread crust, gooey caramel layer, and rich chocolate topping. They taste just like the classic candy bar—but better, thanks to fresh ingredients and the joy of homemade baking.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup or honey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Mix in flour until combined and crumbly.
  3. Press the mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 18–20 minutes, until golden. Let it cool.
  4. For the caramel, combine sweetened condensed milk, brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, and heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until thickened and deep golden, about 10–15 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Pour over the cooled shortbread crust. Chill until set (about 1 hour).
  6. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  7. Pour chocolate over the caramel and smooth evenly. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  8. Slice into bars using a hot knife for clean edges. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor or sprinkle sea salt on top for a salty-sweet finish.
  • Bars can be stored in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for up to a month.
  • Use a hot knife to slice without cracking the chocolate layer.
  • For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
  • Optional: Add a peanut butter layer between caramel and chocolate.
