Homemade Twix bars are the easiest candy bar copycat there is. Buttery club crackers make the cookie layer, a quick caramel made from butter, brown sugar and graham crumbs goes on top, and melted chocolate finishes it. Chill, cut into bars, and they taste just like the ones from the checkout line, only bigger.
