Twix is a 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 (mini and snack sizes), two (standard size), or four bars (king size) in a wrapper.
Twix was first produced in the United Kingdom in 1967, and it was introduced in the United States in 1976, and again in 1979. The name is a portmanteau of “twin sticks”. Twix was called Raider in mainland Europe for many years before its name was changed in 1991, 2000 in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Turkey, to match the international brand name. The Raider brand was resurrected for retro editions sold in Germany in 2009, in the Netherlands, Belgium, Finland and Sweden in 2015, and Switzerland in late 2023.
Twix bars for the North American market are made in Cleveland, Tennessee, along with M&M’s. For global markets like Europe and Africa they are produced in Veghel, the Netherlands alongside Mars bars and other Mars, Incorporated chocolates.
