Homemade Twix Bites Ingredients and Supplies
(see recipe card at the bottom of this post for measurements and details)
Ingredients:
- Caramel squares
- Round vanilla wafer cookies (I use Nilla Wafers)
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Supplies:
How to Make Homemade Twix Bites
- Preheat the oven to 250°F. Unwrap and place the caramels a few inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the preheated oven for 5 minutes to soften the caramels. They should not melt. They should just soften so that you can reshape them.
- Meanwhile, arrange the vanilla wafer cookies, bottom sides up, on a small parchment-lined sheet pan that will fit in your freezer.
- Remove the caramels from the oven and while they’re still warm slightly flatten each caramel into a circle shape that will fit the size of the wafer cookies. Place each flattened caramel on top of each cookie on the sheet pan.
- Place the sheet pan of bites in the freezer for 15 minutes to flash freeze them.
- When you’re ready to coat the bites in chocolate, place 1 cup of the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 seconds intervals until melted and smooth, stirring between each interval.
- Remove half of the flash frozen bites from the freezer.
- Using a fork, dip and coat each bite completely in the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl before transferring the coated bite to a parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Repeat with the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips and remaining bites that are in the freezer.
- Let the bites set at room temperature until the chocolate is completely set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
How to Store Twix Bites
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
To freeze, flash freeze in a single layer on a parchment lined sheet pan for about 1 hour. Then wrap each one in plastic wrap and place in a freezer safe plastic bag or container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Alternatively, flash freeze in a single layer for 1 hour and then space out in layers with parchment between each layer in a freezer-safe plastic bag or container to freezer for up to 3 months.
To defrost frozen candy bars, keep wrapped and allow to defrost in the refrigerator first and then let come to room temperature before enjoying.

I would love to make your recipes but I can’t print them out. I have tried everything. Any ideas.
Hi, Sharon! I just printed one successfully – let’s see if I can help. After you hit the print button, what happens?
Why do they need to be individually wrapped to freeze?
Hi Helen! That will protect them from sticking together and prevent them from getting freezer burn. Also, it’s a nice way to be able to take a certain number from the freezer instead of having to defrost all of the frozen candies. You can definitely freeze them without individually wrapping them though. I would just recommend making sure they’re far enough apart in the container or baggie and put parchment paper between each layer. I hope this helps. Enjoy!
