The Twix chocolate bar was first introduced by the British confectionery company Mars in the United Kingdom in 1967 and worldwide in 1978. Twix quickly became one of the most popular candy bars globally thanks to its unique combination of a biscuit cookie coated in caramel and milk chocolate. While simply enjoying a Twix bar as is can satisfy any chocolate craving, there are also many creative ways you can prepare and incorporate Twix into recipes. Here are some delicious ideas for Twix recipes to try at home.
