Twix Pie FAQs
1. Can I use homemade caramel?
Absolutely! If you’re comfortable making caramel from scratch, go for it. Just be sure it sets firm enough to slice.
2. Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?
Yes, but it will make the pie sweeter. Semi-sweet balances the sweetness of the caramel nicely.
3. How do I make this gluten-free?
Use gluten-free shortbread cookies or graham crackers for the crust. Always double-check your caramel and chocolate labels.

I made Twix Pie today for family that came into town and it was a big hit!! I loved the fact that is was a no-bake. I did crushed shortbread cookies on the top, not salt, but that’s just my personal preference. We ate it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream because we are just kinda “extra” that way! Thank you sooooo much for a big yummy hit!
So glad you liked it! Love the tips!
Wow, this cake is really looking so awesome, thank you for sharing your blog
Oh my! You had me at Twix. I can’t wait to try this cake and I think the sprinkled salt on top adds so much flavour. Just wow!

I just make Millionaire Bars. Same thing, basically but with home made shortbread.
