Snickers, Homemade
This recipe is Dad approved. He is addicted to these things so I was more than happy to whip some up that were homemade where I could control the quality/quantity. I also figured that there could be a million things that could be done to spruce up this classic candy bar, including but not limited to salting the caramel and infusing the chocolate with a hit of coffee {both instances to enhance the flavor} but I managed to make bars that were pretty darn close to the classic without tampering with them too much.

Serves: 12-15 Bars
Ingredients
Base chocolate layer
- 1¼ c bittersweet chocolate
- ¼ c peanut butter
- 1 c roasted/salted peanuts
Nougat layer
- 1 c sugar
- 3 tb whole milk
- 3 tb unsalted butter
- ¼ c peanut butter
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff
- 1 ts vanilla
Caramel layer
- 14 oz caramel
- 2 tb cream
Top chocolate layer
- 1½ c bittersweet chocolate
- ¼ c peanut butter
Instructions
- Melt together the chocolate and peanut butter. Pour into a greased/lined pan. Sprinkle a layer of nuts over it. Refrigerate between each layer.
- To create the nougat, cook sugar, milk, and butter for about 5 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter, fluff, and vanilla until smooth. Pour over the first chocolate layer.
- Melt the caramels with cream and pour over the nougat layer.
- Lastly, melt the chocolate and peanut butter for the top layer and spread evenly over everything. {It helps for all the layers to be chilled/stiff}

I am still dreaming about the version of snickers I made last month. Yours looks really mourish though. Might have to make this tonight!
Will definitely have to check it out.
Hi Angela, I love chocolate and peanut butter. This is truly delectable, a to die for dessert. 🙂
Thanks for sharing the recipe. Best regards.
It’s be the best way to go… With a mass if chocolate and peanut butter!
Oh man those look INCREDIBLE!!! Your Dad has good taste. 🙂
He’d say so 🙂
Home-made snickers bars!!! They must be much healthier than the bought variety 🙂
I’ve seen marshmallow fluff pop up in recipes but have never been able to find it here. Will keep hunting…
That’s what I tell myself, lol
These look awesome and love your extra touch of salt and coffee to kick up the flavor. Me want 🙂
I think I’ll add some fleur de sel on top next time *drool*
I’m fairly certain my boyfriend would be addicted to these as well! Super yum.
and isn’t it our job to tempt them? =)
Oh man, all this work to make a better chocolate bar? You are dedicated.
for sure =)
G’day! Ised to love sharing a frozen snickers with my mum, true!
Thanks for seeing your photo and recipe and me re-living those childhood memories today too!
Cheers! Joanne

Ohhh yes. I imagine swapping out the nougat for ice cream would make this insane. I wonder if I could handle it? =)

Insane is right. I literally had to put them away from sight and go somewhere else to prevent from eating the entire plate, lol.
I LOVE CHOCOLATE Angie! The next cat I allow to adopt me will most likely be named Cocoa, chocolate, etc,LOL! Great job! I LOVE SNICKERS! I have a close relative that has worked for the manufacturers of Snickers a few decades now!
