A big chunk of a day's sugar in one serving.

A two-bar Twix package carries about 24 g of added sugar — close to half its total weight. The sugar is layered three ways: a sweetened cookie base, a caramel layer that's mostly sugar and corn syrup, and a milk chocolate coating on top. Each layer is modest on its own, but stacked together they add up fast.

This is a genuine candy bar, not a snack that's trying to hide anything — but it's easy to eat both bars in the package without noticing you've had two servings. Treat the whole package as one sitting's worth, and save it for a real treat rather than a grab-and-go snack.

Frequently asked questions

Is Twix higher in sugar than a chocolate chip cookie?
Yes — a Twix package has about 24 g versus roughly 12 g for a medium chocolate chip cookie, mostly because of the added caramel layer on top of the cookie and chocolate.
Does the caramel or the chocolate have more sugar in a Twix?
The caramel layer is the bigger contributor — it's largely sugar and corn syrup, while the chocolate coating adds a smaller, more familiar amount.
