Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate the wafer cookies and use only one side of each for the candy bar.
- Top the cookie with a thin layer of hand-formed caramel.
- Place the assembled candy in a pre-lined candy cavity and cap it.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother caramel layer, gently heat the Nestle caramel until it's easier to spread. If you prefer a crunchier texture, substitute the Keebler Krispy Creme cookies with any other wafer cookies you like. You can also try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the caramel for an extra flavor dimension. If you're feeling adventurous, consider pairing these with Ann'S Pound Cake for a delightful dessert spread.
Serving Suggestions
These candy bars are perfect for sharing at parties or as a sweet treat after meals. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a fun dessert platter, serve them alongside Grandma Utterback'S Sweet Rolls or a selection of fruit. They are also great as a movie night snack!
Storage & Reheating
Store the assembled Twix Type Candy Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them, but allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best taste and texture. Avoid freezing as it may affect the consistency of the caramel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use homemade caramel instead of Nestle caramel?
Yes, homemade caramel can be used as a substitute for Nestle caramel. Just ensure it's thick enough to hold its shape when layered on the cookie. If you need a recipe, consider trying a simple caramel sauce that can be made with sugar, butter, and cream.
How do I make the caramel layer thicker?
To achieve a thicker caramel layer, let the caramel cool slightly before spreading it on the cookie. You can also double the amount of caramel used per cookie, ensuring it sets properly before capping with another wafer.
Can I add chocolate to these candy bars?
Absolutely! For an authentic Twix experience, melt some chocolate and drizzle it over the top of the capped candy bars. Allow the chocolate to set before serving. This addition not only enhances the flavor but also gives them a beautiful finish.
