Our good friend, Cassie Kerby, sent me this recipe after she tried it out and loved it. She found it on Pinterest. I think the original source of the recipe is Chow.com.
I haven't tried making these, yet, but I will take Cassie's word for it that they were delicious and her family loved them. Thanks, Cassie!!
Homemade Snickers Bars:
(makes one 9×13 pan)
Bottom chocolate layer:
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
Thoroughly grease you baking pan. (I used parchment paper) Melt ingredients together in a saucepan or microwave, then pour into the baking dish and spread until even. Let cool and harden completely.
Nougat layer:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cup salted peanuts chopped, roughly chopped
1 tsp vanilla extract
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in sugar and milk, stirring until dissolved and bring to a boil. Let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in fluff, peanut butter and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Turn off heat and fold in peanuts, then pour over bottom chocolate layer. Let cool completely.
Caramel layer:
1 14-ounce bag of caramels
1/4 cup whipping cream
Combine ingredients in a saucepan over low heat. Let melt, stirring occasionally, until smooth – this took about 10 minutes for me. Pour over nougat layer and let cool completely.
Top chocolate layer:
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
Melt ingredients together in a saucepan or microwave, then pour over caramel and spread until even. Let cool and harden completely.
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving, then cut as desired. These can stay at room temperature, but they do get gooey. I like them refrigerated best.
*I had trouble downloading the picture so just imagine a Snickers bar, but in a pan. Of course, anything made with chocolate and peanut butter is going to be good, right?!*
