homemade twix bars

Want to surprise your kiddies or office mates with some sweet treats that won’t take a lot of your time?  I whipped up these fancy bars for a party this weekend and they received rave reviews!

Homemade Twix Bars

Club crackers

1 C graham cracker crumbs

3/4 C brown sugar

1/2 C sugar

1/3 C milk

1/2 C butter

2/3 C peanut butter

1 C chocolate chips

Place one layer of Club crackers on the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan.  In a large saucepan over low heat, combine graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, sugar, milk & butter.

Let boil for 5 minutes and pour mixture over crackers in the pan.  Cover with another layer of Club crackers.

In a microwave melt peanut butter & chocolate chips, stirring often until smooth.

Pour melted chocolate mixture over top layer of Club crackers.  Refrigerate (or throw in the freezer if you’re impatient like me) – then cut into bars.

This is just 1 of the 120 simple recipes in this No Bake Cookies, Bars & Pies recipe book. $10.50

The next new quick treat I plan on making is Jimmy Carter Cookies…

2/3 C sugar

2/3 C light corn syrup

1 tsp. vanilla

11/4 C chunky peanut butter

3 C corn flakes cereal

In large sauce pan over heat, combine sugar & corn syrup.  Bring to a boil and add vanilla & peanut butter.  Stir until mixed and gently stir in corn flakes.  Drop by tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper.  Cookies will harden as they cool.
