Homemade Snickers Bars








To my surprise, everyone loved them. Because of the peanut butter I was afraid that no one would really like them but they absolutely loved em. My mom put half of them individually wrapped into the freezer and ate them frozen.
Fair warning though, the caramel is really tough, we used the Rite Aid brand and, so. Just saying.

What you'll need;

Bottom Chocolate Layer:
  • 1¼ cups milk chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
 Nougat Layer:
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup evaporated milk
  • 1½ cups marshmallow fluff
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 1½ cup salted peanuts chopped, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 
 Caramel Layer:
  • 1 14-ounce bag of caramels
  • ¼ cup whipping cream

 Top Chocolate Layer:
  • 1¼ cups milk chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup peanut butter

First, for the bottom layer, melt the peanut butter and chocolate chips together. I did fifteen seconds at a time in the microwave and stirred making sure it wouldn't burn or anything. Then spread it out evenly. And let cool until moving onto the next layer.



For the nougat layer, melt butter over medium heat in a sauce pan, add in sugar and milk till it's dissolved and bring to a boil, let it boil for 5mins stirring occasionally. Add fluff, vanilla, and peanut butter and mix till it's all nice an smooth, take off the heat and mix in the chopped up peanuts and pour over the chocolate letting it cool.




For the caramel, I just melt everything in the microwave again and stirred every 15 seconds. Again, pour over the nougat and let cool





Pour over the last layer of chocolate and peanut butter, let cool, and you're set to go!
Enjoy[:
