Imagine layers of creamy caramel, crunchy cookies, and a chocolate coating that melts in your mouth. These little bites are so good that they’ll be flying off the tray before you can even say “dessert.”
My family loves these Twix bites because they’re the perfect mix of indulgence and simplicity. They take minutes to make (no baking required!) and always impress at get-togethers. Plus, we love experimenting with different toppings, like flaky salt or crushed nuts, to make them extra special.

Ingredients
This is a quick overview of the ingredients needed to create this Twix bites recipe. For exact measurements, scroll down to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Nilla Wafer Cookies: The perfect base for these bites, adding that light crunch you know and love.
- Rolos: These individually wrapped candies give you the gooey caramel layer in no time at all.
- Chocolate Almond Bark: For that smooth, irresistible chocolate coating that brings everything together.
Instructions
This is an overview of the steps needed to make this recipe. The full instructions are available in the recipe card.
Step 1: In a preheat the oven, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the Nilla wafers on the sheet pan in lines. Place a Rolos on top of each cookie right in the middle.
Step 2: Place in the oven. Take out the oven and place a Nilla wafer on top of the Rolos. Pick up and lightly press to squish the Rolo until the chocolate comes out the sides of the cookies. Take a butter knife and smooth the chocolate around the sides where it came out.
Step 3: Place in the refrigerator. Melt the almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Place one of the Rolo cookies into the chocolate and flip around using two forks. Place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all of them are coated. Once hardened, take a spoon, scoop a little bit of chocolate up, and drizzle over each one.
Hint: Sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top while the chocolate is still wet for an extra gourmet twist.
Storage
- Storage: Place your Twix bites in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Want to keep some for the future? Freeze them on a baking sheet first (so they don’t stick together) and then transfer to a freezer-safe container. They’ll last up to 3 months.
- Reheating (optional): If you love gooey caramel, just pop them in the microwave for 5-10 seconds before serving.
Wendy’s Tips
- Plan ahead: Pre-unwrapping your Rolos can save you a bit of time when assembling these bites.
- Experiment with toppings: Crushed pretzels or a drizzle of almond butter can add some amazing flavor!
- Melt with care: When melting the almond bark, use short microwave bursts (15-20 seconds) and stir frequently to avoid scorching.
