The original Twix candy bar—a cookie finger topped with caramel and milk chocolate—was first produced in the U.K. in 1967, then introduced to the States in 1979. In the last three decades there has been several spin-offs, including the Cookies-n-Creme Twix and White Chocolate Twix, but the original version remains king.
The gooey, caramel-filled, chocolate-coated candy has undoubtedly inspired more than a few homemade variations. Follow Food52‘s refined recipe for homemade Twix bars below to step your candy-bar game up to the next level.
