Twix Milkshakes: Twix Milkshake Recipe A Creamy Caramel Treat

My First Twix Milkshake

I made this for my grandson’s birthday. He loves Twix bars. His eyes got so wide with the first sip. I still laugh at that.

It is the easiest treat. You just blend candy and ice cream. The kitchen smells like a candy shop. Doesn’t that smell amazing? What was your favorite birthday treat growing up?

Why This Recipe Works

Using the small Twix bites is smart. They blend into lovely little bits. You get chocolate, caramel, and cookie in every sip.

This matters because texture is fun. It’s not just a smooth drink. You find tiny surprises as you drink. That makes it special.

A Little Kitchen Tip

Make it in two batches. Your blender will thank you. It blends everything smoothly. I learned this the hard way once!

I made one giant batch. The blender groaned. Ice cream flew everywhere. Now I do two small ones. It just works better. Do you have a kitchen mistake that taught you a good lesson?

The Magic of Toppings

Do not skip the whipped cream. Drizzle that extra caramel on top. It looks like a dessert from a fancy shop.

This matters because we eat with our eyes first. A pretty treat tastes even sweeter. It shows you cared enough to make it nice. *Fun fact: The first milkshakes were made in the 1880s and were more like eggnog!*

Make It Your Own

This is your shake. You are the boss. Want more caramel? Add it. Prefer less candy? Use less.

Cooking should be joyful. There are no real rules here. It’s about making something that makes you smile. Would you try this with a different candy bar? Tell me which one!

My Grandson’s Twix Milkshake Secret

My grandson Sam invented this recipe last summer. He had a big bag of Twix bites and a very warm day. I still laugh at that. He asked if we could blend them into a milkshake, and the result was pure magic. It tastes like a candy bar in a glass—so creamy and sweet. Doesn’t that sound amazing? Let’s make some together. It’s easier than you think.

Ingredients & Tools

• 1 bag of Twix bites
• Vanilla ice cream (about 8 big scoops total)
• Caramel sauce
• Whipped cream
• Blender
• 4 glasses

Instructions

Step 1: Grab your blender. Pour in one bag of Twix bites and blend until they become fine crumbs. This is the secret to a smooth shake. Twix bites are the perfect little size for this, making everything so easy.

Step 2: Scoop in half of the vanilla ice cream (about four big scoops). Tip: Let it soften for five minutes first. (Hard-learned lesson: if the ice cream is too hard, your blender will groan!). Blend until smooth and dreamy.

Step 3: Pour in half of the caramel sauce. Blend again for just a few seconds until you see beautiful caramel swirls. Doesn’t that smell amazing? Pour this first batch into glasses, then repeat everything for the second batch.

Step 4: Time for the fun toppings! Add a fluffy cloud of whipped cream on top of each shake, then drizzle a little more caramel sauce over it. It looks so fancy. Serve immediately with a big straw. What’s your favorite candy bar to eat? Share below!

Three Fun Twists to Try

This shake is wonderful as it is, but you can play with it too. Here are three simple ideas that make it feel new and special. I love trying little changes like this.

• Cookie Crunch: Add two chocolate sandwich cookies when you blend. It gives a nice crunch.
• Salty Sweet: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on the whipped cream. It makes the caramel taste even better.
• Coffee Kick: Use coffee ice cream instead of vanilla. It tastes like a fancy coffee shop treat.

Serving It Up Right

This milkshake is a whole dessert by itself, but you can make it a party. For a real treat, serve it with a small bowl of salty popcorn—the mix of sweet and salty is perfect. Or, stick a mini Twix bar on the rim of the glass. It makes everyone smile.

What to drink with it? Well, it is a drink! But for a grown-up night, a small glass of cold bourbon pairs nicely. For the kids, a glass of cold milk is just right to balance all that sweetness. Which would you choose tonight?

Keeping Your Twix Milkshake Perfect

This milkshake is best fresh. But sometimes you make too much. I get that.

Pour any extra into a glass jar. Seal it tight. Pop it in the freezer for later. It will get very hard. Let it sit on the counter for 10 minutes before drinking. Give it a good stir with a spoon.

I once tried to re-blend a frozen shake. My old blender groaned so loud! Now I just let it soften. This matters because a good treat shouldn’t go to waste. You can enjoy it twice.

The recipe makes two batches. This is perfect for sharing. Make one batch for now, one for a friend. Have you ever tried storing it this way? Share below!

Simple Fixes for Milkshake Troubles

Is your shake too thick? The blender might be stuck. Just add a splash of milk. Blend again. It will get smooth.

Is it not sweet enough? I remember when my grandson thought this. Add a little more caramel sauce. Blend for five more seconds. This matters because flavor is everything.

Are the Twix pieces too chunky? Pulverize them first, all alone. Fun fact: Twix bites are designed to blend easily. Then add your ice cream. This gives you that perfect creamy sip. It builds your kitchen confidence.
