Twix is a caramel shortbread chocolate bar made by Mars, Inc., consisting of a biscuit applied with other confectionery toppings and coatings (most frequently caramel and milk chocolate). Twix are packaged with one, two or four bars in a wrapper.

The "history" behind the Left Twix and Right Twix is chronicled on the candy's website, telling the story of two brothers who were collaborators-turned-rivals, splitting the candy they once developed together into two factories, creating Left Twix and Right Twix separately.
