Homemade Twix Bars

I am glad to share with you another great recipe for Homemade Twix Bars. This one is as easy to prepare as well as the other Chocolate Caramel Bars recipe I shared a few time ago. This recipe here is an eggless version made with sweetened condensed milk.

It was the first time trying to make a caramel without caramelizing the sugar first and I was surprised by the great result I obtained this way. The caramel turned chewy and gooey but still soft, exactly as needed for this recipe.

You can hardly beat these Homemade Twix Bars,  they are rich, buttery, and chocolaty, with a thick buttery crust topped with chewy caramel and a thick chocolate layer on top. They are simply amazing and quite addictive.

How to make homemade Twix bars

Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan and line it with parchment paper, ensuring that the paper overhangs the edges for easy lifting later.

How to prepare the crust

To prepare the crust, cream together the butter, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Sift the flour and gradually incorporate it into the butter mixture. The mixture should become crumbly but hold together when squeezed.

Press the crumbly mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan using the back of a spoon. Bake the crust for 20 minutes, then remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

How to prepare the caramel

For the caramel combine all the caramel ingredients in a saucepan and place it over low-medium heat, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a boil and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, ensuring to stir constantly to prevent burning. Pour the caramel evenly over the slightly cooled crust.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

How to prepare the chocolate topping

For the chocolate topping, melt the chocolate with butter over a bain-marie (double boiler) until smooth. Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled caramel layer.

Set and serve the homemade Twix bars

Refrigerate the pan for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate topping is fully set. Once set, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.

Enjoy your delicious chocolate caramel bars, and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Hope you will try it out and enjoy this delightful bars! If you try them out, make sure to share the photos with me on Instagram. Would love to see how this recipe turns out for you.
