Twix Dip Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 1 (8-ounce or 226-gram) package of cream cheese, softened
- 1 (8-ounce or 226-gram) container of whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- 2 (12 packs) Twix fun-size candy bars (6.72 ounces or 190.5 grams)
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons of caramel sundae topping (divided into ½ cup and 2 tablespoons for garnish)
Substitutions and Additions
CREAM CHEESE: For a tangy twist, swap the cream cheese with Greek yogurt. This substitution adds a subtle tanginess and boosts the protein content.
WHIPPED TOPPING: Opt for whipped cream if you prefer a homemade touch. Just make sure to sweeten it to taste.
TWIX CANDY BAR: Experiment with different candy bars like Snickers or Milky Way for a unique flavor profile. You can also try adding crushed nuts for an extra crunch.
CARAMEL SUNDAE TOPPING: If caramel isn’t your thing, go for chocolate syrup or butterscotch topping to switch up the flavor.
MIX-INS: Add chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, toffee bits, or any other sweet mix-ins you’d like.
How To Make This Twix Dip Recipe
STEP ONE: Unwrap and slice 14 fun-size candy bars for the dip filling. Next, slice five candy bars for garnish. Set the sliced candy bars aside. You will have unsliced candy left over.
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing for a super smooth and creamy dip.
STEP TWO: Add the softened cream cheese to a medium-sized mixing bowl (2-3 quarts). Use a handheld mixer on medium-high speed to beat the cream cheese for 1½-2 minutes until the cream cheese is completely smooth.
STEP THREE: Mix in the thawed whipped topping until smooth.
STEP FOUR: Fold in the 14 sliced fun-size candy bars.
STEP FIVE: Fold in ½ cup of the sundae topping. The goal is to have a marbled effect with the caramel topping. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for one hour.
Don’t skip the chilling time. It’s important to make sure the dip has the proper texture before serving.
STEP SIX: Just before you are ready to serve, sprinkle the remaining sliced Twix bars over the top of the dip. Drizzle the remaining caramel topping. Keep refrigerated until you are ready to serve.
How To Serve

- Layer the Twix dip with crushed cookies and whipped cream for a quick and impressive dessert parfait.
