Better Than Twix No Bake Protein Cups

Jump to Recipe

if you’re a twix lover but want a healthier, protein-packed version, these no bake twix protein cups are going to blow your mind.

they’re indulgent, chewy, chocolatey, and satisfying—but made with good-for-you ingredients that fit right into a balanced lifestyle.

taste

these cups taste like your favorite candy bar in bite-size form.

the base is slightly sweet and nutty with a cookie-like vibe, the middle is a gooey maple nut butter “caramel,” and the top is smooth chocolate that sets with the perfect snap.

texture

the texture is everything here.

the base is soft but sturdy thanks to the blend of protein powder, dates, almond flour, and just enough milk to make it chewy without being crumbly.

the caramel is creamy and sticky in the best way, and the chocolate topping balances it all with a firm bite.

protein boost

each cup packs in over 12 grams of protein, making this a dessert or snack that actually keeps you full.

the addition of protein powder in the base means you get more than just flavor—you get staying power.

inspiration

these were inspired by classic twix bars, but i wanted to create something that felt like a treat while giving you balanced macros.

the cookie, caramel, and chocolate combo is iconic, so it was a natural choice to give it a healthier spin.

substitution options

• protein powder: use any vanilla or chocolate protein you love, plant-based or whey. just note that absorbency can vary, so adjust with more/less milk if needed.
• nut butter: almond, cashew, or peanut butter all work. sunflower seed butter makes a great nut-free version.
• milk: any dairy or dairy-free milk will work—almond, oat, cashew, or regular dairy milk.
• chocolate: dark, semi-sweet, or sugar-free chocolate chips all melt down beautifully for the topping.

storage

store your twix protein cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

they also freeze really well—just let them sit at room temp for 15+ minutes before biting in if they’re rock solid.
