Instructions
Making homemade Snickers bars is a straightforward process. Just follow these steps, and you’ll have a sweet treat ready in no time:
- Prepare Dish: Line a 9×13″ baking dish with parchment paper. This will make removing the bars easier once they’re set.
- Melt Chocolate: In a double boiler, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips with 3 tbsp of peanut butter until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Freeze for 10 minutes to set the chocolate layer.
- Make Nougat: In a mixing bowl, combine marshmallow fluff, 1/4 cup of peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until well combined. Spread the nougat mixture over the chilled chocolate layer using a spatula.
- Add Peanuts: Sprinkle the unsalted roasted peanuts over the nougat layer, pressing them down gently to ensure they adhere to the nougat.
- Melt Caramel: In the double boiler, melt the caramel squares with the heavy cream until completely smooth. Pour the melted caramel over the nougat and peanut layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Chill Again: Place the dish in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the caramel to set.
- Final Chocolate Layer: Melt the remaining chocolate chips and 3 tbsp of peanut butter in the double boiler. Pour this over the caramel layer, spreading it evenly. Chill until the chocolate is set.
- Slice: Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the bars into squares. Enjoy your homemade Snickers bars!
