No obscure ingredients or complicated techniques are required. They are the perfect wholesome treat for any occasion, especially Halloween, and will be cherished by vegans and non-vegans alike.
Are Traditional Twix Bars Vegan?
It’s a common question for those transitioning to a plant-based diet, and unfortunately, the answer is no. The classic Twix bar you find on store shelves is not vegan due to several dairy-derived ingredients. Understanding why is key to appreciating this delicious homemade alternative.
According to the official Twix Bars website, a conventional Twix bar contains the following ingredients:
“MILK CHOCOLATE (SUGAR, COCOA BUTTER, CHOCOLATE, SKIM MILK, LACTOSE, MILKFAT, SOY LECITHIN, PGPR, ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS), ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), SUGAR, PALM OIL, CORN SYRUP, SKIM MILK, DEXTROSE, LESS THAN 2% – SALT, COCOA POWDER, SOY LECITHIN, MODIFIED CORN STARCH, BAKING SODA, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR.”
From this detailed ingredient list, it’s clear that multiple components are derived from animals. The “MILK CHOCOLATE” itself contains “SKIM MILK,” “LACTOSE,” and “MILKFAT,” all of which are dairy products. Furthermore, the presence of “SKIM MILK” later in the list, outside of the chocolate coating, indicates dairy is also used in other parts of the bar, likely the caramel. While peanuts are often confused with Twix (that’s the territory of Snickers!), the primary non-vegan issue here is definitely dairy.
For those living a vegan lifestyle or with dairy allergies, this makes traditional Twix bars off-limits. However, with our homemade vegan Twix bars, you don’t have to miss out! This recipe meticulously reconstructs the flavors and textures of the original, ensuring you can still indulge in your favorite treat without compromise.
Deconstructing the Classic: Components of a Twix Bar
Often, Twix bars are mistakenly compared to Snickers, but they are distinct candy creations! While Snickers is known for its peanuts and nougat, a Twix bar offers a different, yet equally satisfying, textural journey. At its core, a Twix bar is built upon three delightful layers, each contributing to its unique appeal:
- Vanilla Shortbread: This foundational layer is responsible for the satisfying “crunch” that defines a Twix bar. In our vegan rendition, we meticulously replicate this texture and flavor using just three core ingredients: naturally gluten-free oat flour, rich coconut oil, and subtly sweet maple syrup. That’s truly it! There’s no need for additional starches like cornstarch or arrowroot. The result is a wonderfully simple, yet perfectly crisp and buttery shortbread that forms the ideal base for our vegan treat. We specifically chose oat flour for its delicate flavor and ability to provide a tender crumb, while also keeping the recipe gluten-free. For those sensitive to coconut, vegan butter can be swapped for the coconut oil to alter the flavor profile slightly while maintaining texture.
- Gooey Caramel: The heart of a Twix bar is its signature chewy, sweet caramel. For our vegan caramel sauce, we’ve opted for a cashew-based caramel. This choice delivers an incredibly smooth, rich, and naturally creamy caramel experience. While this version does contain nuts, we’ve ensured it’s easily adaptable: you can achieve a perfectly delicious nut-free caramel by simply swapping the cashew butter for sunflower seed butter or tahini (more details on this below). The key ingredients for our luscious caramel are just cashew butter, vegan butter (or coconut oil), and maple syrup, creating a caramel that sets beautifully without becoming overly hard.
- Decadent Chocolate Coating: Traditionally, Twix bars are enrobed in milk chocolate. To achieve a similar, rich taste in our plant-based version, we use high-quality vegan chocolate. The trick to a smooth, evenly coated bar lies in combining melted vegan chocolate with a touch of melted vegan butter or coconut oil. This slight addition not only enhances the chocolate’s gloss and snap but also makes it incredibly easy to dip and coat each bar, ensuring every bite is a perfect blend of sweet shortbread, soft caramel, and satisfying chocolate.

You can also quickly jump directly to the recipe by clicking the “jump to recipe” button conveniently placed at the top of this page. This section provides a helpful, step-by-step overview of the process, complete with visual cues, to give you a clear understanding of how these delightful vegan Twix bars come to life.
Here’s how to create these irresistibly easy homemade Twix bars:
-
Begin by preparing the shortbread dough.
Start by precisely cutting the room-temperature coconut oil into the oat flour. This technique, similar to making traditional shortbread, ensures a tender, crumbly texture. Once combined, gently mix in the maple syrup until a cohesive dough forms. Press this dough evenly into your prepared baking pan, ensuring it’s smooth and compact. Crucially, before baking, use a fork to prick several holes across the surface of the dough. This simple step is vital as it allows any trapped air to escape during baking, preventing unwanted bubbles and ensuring a perfectly flat, uniform shortbread base. Bake the shortbread for approximately 18-20 minutes, until it’s lightly golden and firm to the touch.
-
Next, create the velvety cashew caramel sauce.
Once your shortbread base has finished baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. This cooling period is essential before adding the caramel. While the shortbread cools, prepare your irresistible caramel sauce. In a food processor or high-speed blender, combine the creamy cashew butter, melted vegan butter (or coconut oil), and maple syrup. Blend these ingredients until the mixture is utterly smooth and wonderfully creamy, with no lumps. Once the shortbread is fully cooled, pour this luscious caramel sauce evenly over the shortbread layer. Transfer the baking pan to the refrigerator and allow it to chill for a minimum of 1-2 hours, or until the caramel has firmly set.
-
Carefully slice the set bars.
After the caramel layer has completely solidified in the fridge, it’s time to slice your bars. Gently lift the entire shortbread and caramel block from the baking pan using the parchment paper overhangs. Place it on a clean cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the large block into your desired number of individual Twix-sized bars. You can aim for at least 16 slices, making them as small or large as you prefer. Once sliced, arrange these individual bars onto a cooling rack lined with parchment paper. Return these slices to the fridge or freezer to chill once more while you prepare the final chocolate coating. This ensures the caramel remains firm when dipped.
-
Enrobe the Twix bars in melted chocolate.
While your sliced bars are chilling, melt your chosen vegan chocolate chips or chunks together with a small amount of vegan butter or coconut oil. Ensure the melted chocolate is in a bowl wide and deep enough to comfortably submerge an entire Twix bar. Remove the chilled bars from the freezer. Using a fork, carefully dip each individual bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s thoroughly and evenly coated on all sides. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before gently placing the dipped Twix bar back onto the parchment-lined cooling rack. Repeat this process for all the remaining bars, maintaining a consistent coating. Once all bars are dipped, return them to the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set completely.
And just like that, your exquisite homemade vegan Twix bars are ready to be enjoyed! Prepare to be amazed by the authentic taste and perfect texture.
A Special Note on Crafting the Perfect Vegan Caramel Sauce
The caramel layer is undeniably critical to the authentic Twix experience, providing that signature chewy, sweet center. For this particular recipe, we wholeheartedly recommend using the cashew caramel sauce, as meticulously detailed in the recipe card below. This choice isn’t arbitrary; it’s the result of extensive testing to achieve the ideal texture and flavor profile.
One of the brilliant aspects of this recipe is the built-in option to easily make the caramel sauce completely nut-free. If cashews are not suitable for your dietary needs, you can simply swap the cashew butter for sunflower seed butter (like SunButter) or tahini. Both of these alternatives will work exceptionally well, providing a similar creamy consistency and a rich, slightly earthy flavor that complements the shortbread and chocolate beautifully. When selecting a nut-free alternative, opt for a creamy, unsweetened variety to maintain control over the overall sweetness and texture.
You might wonder why we aren’t using a more conventional “vegan caramel sauce” recipe, perhaps one made with coconut cream and sugar, like my classic vegan caramel sauce. The primary reason is functionality. Traditional homemade caramel sauces, both vegan and non-vegan, tend to become quite firm and brittle when cold, or too runny at room temperature, making them less ideal for a sturdy candy bar filling. They also often don’t freeze particularly well, losing their desirable chewiness. When making conventional homemade Twix bars, many people resort to using pre-made caramel soft candies rather than attempting to create a homemade sauce for this exact reason – achieving the right texture for dipping and slicing can be challenging.
By utilizing this cashew (or nut-free alternative) caramel sauce, we bypass these textural challenges. Its unique composition allows it to solidify perfectly at colder temperatures, achieving the necessary firmness for you to cleanly slice your vegan Twix bars. Crucially, it then maintains a wonderfully gooey and chewy texture once dipped in chocolate and brought back to a comfortable eating temperature, just like the classic. This ensures your homemade Twix bars hold their shape, are easy to coat, and deliver that satisfying caramel chew in every single bite.
Expert Tips & Tricks for Perfect Homemade Vegan Candy Bars
Creating homemade candy bars, especially those as iconic as Twix, can feel like a culinary adventure. To ensure your vegan Twix bars turn out perfectly every time, keep these valuable tips and tricks in mind:
- Prevent Bubbles in the Shortbread: This is a crucial step for a smooth, even base. Before baking, use a fork to poke several holes into the shortbread dough. This simple action allows steam and any trapped air to escape during the baking process, preventing the shortbread from puffing up unevenly or forming undesirable bubbles. The result is a uniformly flat and crisp shortbread layer, ideal for holding the caramel.
- Choose Your Favorite Vegan Chocolate Wisely: The quality of your chocolate coating significantly impacts the final taste. While any good quality vegan chocolate will work, consider your personal preference. For a rich, slightly bitter contrast to the sweet caramel, opt for a dark vegan chocolate (70% cocoa or higher). If you prefer a taste closer to traditional milk chocolate, look for vegan “milk” chocolate options made with oat milk or rice milk. Brands like Endangered Species oat milk chips or Pascha Chocolate are fantastic choices, offering diverse options from dark to milk-style vegan chocolates.
- Master the Chocolate Dip: Achieving a perfectly smooth and even chocolate coating requires a bit of patience. After dipping each Twix bar into the melted chocolate, lift it with a fork and gently tap the fork against the edge of the bowl. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off for a few moments. This helps remove any superfluous chocolate, ensuring a thin, uniform, and aesthetically pleasing coating on your homemade vegan Halloween treat. A thick, uneven coating can be messy and overwhelm the other flavors.
- Coconut Oil vs. Vegan Butter in Shortbread: The choice between coconut oil and vegan butter for the shortbread base can subtly alter the flavor and texture. If you’re a fan of a delicate, almost imperceptible coconut aroma, using coconut oil is wonderful. However, if you are particularly sensitive to coconut flavor, or if you desire a more classic “buttery” shortbread taste reminiscent of conventional Twix, then substituting with a high-quality vegan butter is highly recommended. I personally lean towards vegan butter for a more neutral, authentic shortbread profile, but my husband loves the subtle coconut notes from the coconut oil version. It truly comes down to your personal preference!
- Chill, Chill, Chill: The success of these bars heavily relies on proper chilling. Ensure each layer – the shortbread, the caramel, and finally, the chocolate – has sufficient time to chill and set completely. Rushing this process can lead to a messy, unmanageable bar. Chilling the sliced caramel bars in the freezer just before dipping is especially crucial; it helps the caramel stay firm and prevents it from melting when it comes into contact with the warm chocolate.
- Ingredient Quality Matters: With a recipe featuring only a few ingredients, the quality of each component shines through. Use fresh oat flour, good quality maple syrup, and smooth, creamy cashew butter (or your chosen nut-free alternative). High-quality ingredients contribute significantly to the overall flavor and texture of your finished Twix bars.
- Storage for Longevity: These bars are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their structure and freshness. They will last beautifully for up to 5 days in the fridge. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy from frozen, simply let them thaw slightly at room temperature for a few minutes to achieve that perfect chewy caramel consistency.
You are about to fall head over heels for these incredibly satisfying homemade vegan candy bars! These plant-based Twix bars are more than just a sweet treat; they’re a celebration of flavor and mindful indulgence. Here’s why they’re destined to become a new favorite:

Ingredients
Scale
For the Shortbread Layer:
- 350 grams oat flour (ensure it’s certified gluten-free if needed)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla powder or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 115 grams coconut oil, room temperature and solid (or use solid vegan butter)
- 50 grams pure maple syrup
For the Vegan Cashew Caramel:
- 250 grams creamy and smooth cashew butter (ensure it’s unsweetened and without added oils. For nut-free, use sunflower seed butter or tahini)
- 200 grams coconut oil or melted vegan butter, cooled to room temperature (liquid, not hot)
- 100 grams pure maple syrup
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 340 grams high-quality vegan dark chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (or vegan “milk” chocolate for a sweeter profile)
- 50 grams coconut oil or vegan butter
Instructions
- Thoroughly Read All Instructions: Before you begin any preparation, take a moment to read through every step of this recipe. Familiarizing yourself with the process will ensure a smooth and enjoyable baking experience.
- Initial Preparation: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) baking pan by lightly greasing it, then lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. This parchment “sling” will make it much easier to remove the cooled bars later. Measure out all your ingredients precisely and have them ready before starting.
- Prepare the Vegan Shortbread Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour and vanilla powder (if you’re using vanilla extract, add it later with the maple syrup). Using a fork or a pastry cutter, meticulously cut the room-temperature, solid coconut oil into the oat flour. Continue this process until the mixture takes on a consistency similar to coarse, grainy sand. Next, pour in the maple syrup (and vanilla extract if using). Mix thoroughly until a sticky, consistent dough forms. Press this dough firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan. For a perfectly smooth surface, you can use the flat bottom of a drinking glass or a rubber spatula to press it down. Critically, use a fork to poke numerous small holes all over the surface of the dough. This allows steam to escape, preventing the shortbread from bubbling during baking. Transfer the baking pan to the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust appears lightly golden brown and feels firm. Remove from the oven and allow the shortbread to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before transferring the entire pan to the refrigerator to chill further while you prepare the caramel.
- Craft the Smooth Cashew Caramel Sauce: While your shortbread base is cooling and chilling, proceed to make the luscious caramel sauce. In the bowl of a food processor or a high-speed blender, combine the creamy cashew butter (or your chosen nut-free alternative like sunflower seed butter or tahini), the melted and *cooled* coconut oil or vegan butter, and the maple syrup. Blend these ingredients until the mixture is completely smooth and wonderfully creamy, with no discernible lumps. It’s important that the melted oil/butter is cooled, not hot, to prevent separation. Ensure both the caramel sauce and the shortbread are at a cool temperature before combining.
- Assemble the Caramel Layer: Once the Twix shortbread has completely cooled and chilled, carefully pour the prepared caramel sauce directly onto the shortbread layer, which should still be in the baking pan. Spread the caramel evenly across the entire surface. Return the baking pan to the refrigerator and allow it to chill for a substantial 1-2 hours, or until the caramel layer has firmly set. This solidifies the caramel, making it ready for slicing.
- Slice and Prepare for Dipping: When the caramel is fully set and firm, gently lift the entire shortbread and caramel block out of the baking pan using the parchment paper overhangs. Place the block onto a clean cutting board. Using a very sharp knife, carefully slice the large bar into individual Twix-sized portions. You can aim for approximately 24 thinner bars or 32 shorter, thicker bars, depending on your preference. Once sliced, arrange these individual bars onto a cooling rack that has been lined with parchment paper. Transfer the cooling rack with the sliced bars into the freezer. This step is crucial: freezing the bars for 15-20 minutes ensures the caramel remains firm and stable when dipped into the warm chocolate, preventing it from melting or losing its shape. While the bars are freezing, you can prepare your chocolate coating.
- Melt the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl (microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, to prevent burning) or over a double boiler, melt the vegan dark chocolate until it is completely smooth and fluid. Once melted, stir in the additional vegan butter or coconut oil. This helps thin the chocolate slightly, making it easier to dip and ensuring a smooth, glossy finish. Allow the melted chocolate mixture to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or until it cools down slightly but remains liquid. The chocolate should be warm enough to be fluid, but not hot, as extremely hot chocolate can cause the chilled caramel to melt. Ensure the bowl you use for melting is large enough to comfortably dip an entire Twix bar.
- Dip the Twix Bars in Chocolate: Remove the chilled Twix bars from the freezer. Place a baking sheet or a large piece of parchment paper directly underneath your cooling rack to catch any chocolate drips. Using a fork (it helps to use one with narrower tines), carefully dip one Twix bar at a time into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully and evenly coated. Gently tap the fork against the edge of the bowl to allow any excess chocolate to drip off. Carefully transfer the coated bar back to the parchment-lined cooling rack. Repeat this process for all the remaining bars, ensuring each one gets a beautiful, even layer of chocolate.
- Set the Chocolate Coating: Once all the Twix bars have been dipped, transfer the cooling rack (with the baking sheet underneath) into the refrigerator. Allow the chocolate to set completely for approximately 10-20 minutes. This will result in a firm, snappy chocolate shell.
- Serve and Store: Once the chocolate has fully set, your homemade vegan Twix bars are ready to be enjoyed! For the best textural experience, allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving, which will soften the caramel to its ideal gooeyness. When not indulging, store any leftover Twix bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. From the freezer, simply let them thaw briefly before enjoying.
Notes
Oat Flour Guidance: You have the option to use either store-bought oat flour or make your own oat flour from rolled oats. If you mill your own, you’ll find it often results in a slightly chewier and more rustic, “oatier” crust texture. For a smoother shortbread, store-bought finely ground oat flour is excellent. Always ensure your oat flour is certified gluten-free if you are catering to a gluten-free diet, as oats can be cross-contaminated during processing.
Choosing Your Vegan Chocolate: The type of vegan chocolate you select will significantly influence the final taste. We highly recommend brands like Pascha Chocolate, which offers a fantastic range of vegan options, including super dark chocolate, creamy vegan “milk” chocolate, and even stevia-sweetened varieties. Endangered Species oat milk chips are also a great choice for a smooth finish. Experiment to find your favorite – a darker chocolate will provide a more intense contrast, while a vegan milk chocolate will make the bars taste sweeter and more akin to the original.
Vanilla Powder vs. Extract: The recipe suggests vanilla powder, such as those from Anima Mundi Herbals, which we adore for the beautiful vanilla flecks it imparts to the shortbread. However, if vanilla powder isn’t readily available, fear not! You can absolutely use vanilla extract in its place. Just ensure you add it along with the maple syrup, as specified in the instructions, to integrate it properly into the dough.
The Secret to the Perfect Caramel: This recipe has been rigorously tested multiple times, and we’ve discovered that a typical vegan caramel sauce (often made with coconut cream and sugar) simply won’t solidify enough to create the ideal chewy filling required for a dippable Twix bar. Those sauces tend to be more liquid, serving better as a drizzle than a firm layer. That’s precisely why we’ve opted for a cashew (or seed butter) based caramel sauce. This specific formulation allows the caramel to set firmly when chilled, making the bars easy to slice and dip, yet remaining wonderfully gooey at room temperature. For a completely nut-free option, confidently swap in sunflower seed butter or tahini for the cashew butter. Both will yield a delicious and functional caramel. However, we do not recommend using coconut butter here, as it tends to impart an overpowering coconut flavor to the caramel that can detract from the overall balance.
Storage Tips: For optimal freshness and texture, always store your homemade vegan Twix bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will maintain their delicious quality for up to 5 days. If you wish to make a larger batch for future enjoyment, these bars freeze exceptionally well for up to 3 months. When retrieving from the freezer, simply let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the caramel to soften slightly to its perfect chewy consistency.
