Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups evaporated milk
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 11 ounces caramel candies
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1.5 cups salted peanuts
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it. This will make it easier to remove the candy bars later.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 0.5 cup of creamy peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer. Refrigerate for 20 minutes, or until set.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in granulated sugar and evaporated milk until combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Let it cook for 5 minutes at medium heat, then remove from heat.
Stir in marshmallow creme, 0.5 cup of creamy peanut butter, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Immediately pour the nougat mixture over the chilled chocolate-peanut butter base. Smooth with a spatula and refrigerate until set (about 15-20 minutes).
Place caramel candies and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth. Pour the caramel over the nougat layer and sprinkle evenly with salted peanuts.
Melt the remaining 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 0.25 cup of creamy peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Spread this over the peanut-caramel layer to create the final chocolate topping. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the entire dish for at least 1 hour, or until all layers are firm. Once set, lift the bars out of the baking dish using the parchment paper and cut into individual candy bars.
Store the Snickers Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
