Homemade Snickers Bars - Guide Recipe
With two layers of chocolate , creamy nougat , peanuts , and plenty of caramel , these Homemade Snickers Bars taste just like the real candy bar – only better!
Every December , my sister-in-law Erin has a Baking Day.
She takes a day off work to bake and create sweet treats for Christmas. Cookies , candies , bars , you name it! And she does it by herself. She is totally 100% self-motivated , self-propelled , and committed.
It isn’t like one of those ladies-baking-as-a-cover-story-for-drinking-wine scenarios. Erin is legit , and she puts out an impressive amount of goodies.
Wistfully envious , 2 ,500 miles away , and a few months early , I’m getting started on my own Baking Day with these delicious Homemade Snickers Bars.
Two layers of semi-sweet chocolate (which I prefer over the milk chocolate in “real” Snickers bars) sandwiches marshmallowy nougat , crunch peanuts , and luscious caramel. And don’t worry , it’s all easy!
It’s easy because you use store-bought marshmallow cream and unwrap a bag of caramels. If you want to make marshmallow cream or caramel sauce from scratch , have at it!
Beyond that , you just have to melt chocolate and peanut butter together. In the microwave. You’ve got this!
And prepare to be impressed by your own Baking Day magic , because these are GREAT! You’ll love them , no question about it.
