Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g Milk chocolate chips
- 120 g Peanut butter (creamy)
- 120 g Unsalted butter
- 200 g Granulated sugar
- 120 ml Evaporated milk
- 200 g Marshmallow creme (or fluff)
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 300 g Salted peanuts
- 300 g Soft caramel candies
- 60 ml Heavy cream
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Melt 150 g of milk chocolate chips and 30 g of peanut butter together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan and refrigerate until set.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 60 g of butter. Add the granulated sugar and evaporated milk, stirring until dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
Remove from the heat and quickly stir in the marshmallow creme, 30 g of peanut butter, and the vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the nougat layer evenly over the chocolate base and sprinkle with the salted peanuts. Press the peanuts gently into the nougat layer. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set.
Place the caramel candies and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramel is melted and silky smooth.
Pour the caramel over the nougat layer and peanuts, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate again until the caramel is firm, about 30 minutes.
Melt the remaining 300 g of milk chocolate chips and 60 g of peanut butter together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth.
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the caramel layer and spread it evenly to create the final chocolate topping.
Refrigerate the entire pan for at least 1 hour or until fully set. Once firm, lift the candy bar out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into rectangular bars of your desired size using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy your homemade Snickers bars!
