No Bake Twix Bars
No bake Twix bars made with graham cracker crust, caramel, and chocolate. An easy homemade dessert that sets in the refrigerator.
I made these no bake Twix bars on a week when I wanted a dessert that felt familiar and comforting without turning on the oven. At this stage of life, simple wins. This recipe came together with steady steps and ingredients I already had on hand. It felt calm to make and easy to trust.
What I like most about this recipe is the clear layers. The base stays soft and sturdy, the caramel layer sets just right, and the chocolate on top finishes clean. Each bite feels balanced and satisfying. You get sweetness without feeling weighed down.
When I served these at home, they disappeared faster than expected. They were cut neatly, lifted cleanly, and eaten quietly. That usually tells me a recipe works. These bars now come out when I need a dependable dessert that feels worth sharing.
