How to Make Twix Bar Dip

- Add in the cool whip, chocolate sauce, and caramel sauce.
- Mix again for just a minute or two until smooth. Don’t overmix.
Step Three: Add the Cookies and the Candy Bar Pieces
- Add in the shortbread crumbles and Twix pieces (reserve about a handful of each for garnishing the top).
Step Four: Chill and Serve
- Gently mix using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Cover and place the dip inside the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
- When ready to serve, place in a serving bowl, garnish with additional chocolate and caramel sauce, Twix bites and shortbread pieces.
Twix Dip Variations and Add-ins
- Vanilla pudding: For a lighter and fluffier dip, you can use prepared vanilla pudding instead of cream cheese.
- Chocolate chips: Add a little more chocolatey goodness by sprinkling in a few dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips.
- Cookie dough: For even more sweetness, you can fold in small chunks of edible sugar cookie dough.
- Toffee bits: Throw in about 1/2 cup of toffee bits for added crunch and toffee flavor.
- Chopped nuts: Chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds are always an awesome add-in for dessert dip recipes.
