It should come as no surprise to anyone that I've developed quite an arsenal of recipes over the past couple of years of food blogging. Some of the recipes I make right away and others, I save until I have a really good reason to make them. One recipe, in particular, that I've had tucked away for a "rainy day" was a recipe for Homemade Snickers Bars. Well the perfect opportunity finally presented itself - a swim party for fifteen year old girl soccer players. What teenage girl doesn't like Snicker's bars? There could not have been a more perfect opportunity to make this recipe.
Homemade Snickers Bars
Bottom Layer
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
Thoroughly grease 9x13" baking pan.
Melt ingredients together in microwave.
Pour into baking sheet. Spread until even. Let cool completely.
Middle Layer
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups salted peanuts, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla
Melt butter in saucepan.
Add in sugar and milk, stirring until dissolved. Bring to a boil. Cook 5 minutes.
Add in fluff, peanut butter and vanilla. Stir until smooth. Turn off heat.
Fold in peanuts.
Pour over bottom layer.
Cool completely.
Caramel Layer
14 ounce bag caramels
1/4 cup whipping cream
Combine ingredients in a saucepan. Melt over low heat until smooth.
Pour over nougat layer. Cool completely.
Top Layer
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
Melt ingredients together in saucepan. Pour over caramel and spread until even.
I thought these might be really messy and hard to cut but I cut them as soon as I took them out of the refrigerator so they were still nice and cold. The first couple of squares were a bit of a challenge to wiggle out of the pan but after that, I didn't have too much trouble.
By the way --- In case you haven't figured it out from the pictures - these are amazing!
Ciao!
