Homemade Healthy Vegan Twix Bars

These vegan Twix bars (Rainbow Nourishments) are quite simple, to make although you do need a few ingredients. Ideal for the creative or ambitious chef, or professional cook to master! It’s easy to replicate most common chocolate bars, you just then create plant-based versions (there are oodles of recipes on the Web).

Keep these bars away from pets, chocolate is not safe around animal friends. Read more on food safety for people and pets. 

This recipe creates a shortbread biscuit base using flour, coconut sugar and vegan butter (Flora has no palm oil), then tops with a gooey caramel made with vegan condensed milk, and tops with vegan chocolate.

Like most commercial chocolate bars, Twix is made with dairy (and likely from factory farms) and wrapped in plastic (chocolate and sweet wrappers are one of the most littered items in England). They are also pretty expensive for two bites of snack – around £1.

Like most commercial snacks, this one is owned Mars, one of the world’s biggest food companies which owns everything from Wrigley’s chewing gum (full of littered pet-toxic xylitol) and other chocolate bars (Milky Way, Bounty) to most of the world’s pet food market. And even Dolmio watery pasta sauce (American, not Italian).

In February 2025, a litter-picking volunteer discovered a Twix wrapper priced at 13p, with a ‘best before’ date of August 1984, in Teeside’s River Leven. He said that the find was ‘pretty depressing’ but not uncommon saying ‘you name it, we’ve found it’. When approached, a spokesperson for Mars Wrigley said it had implemented ‘clear disposal messages’ on its products, to stop people dropping litter.
