HOMEMADE SNICKERS BARS

Please, do take time to indulge in the image of gooey caramel of this homemade candy bar version. It is quite incredible you can make it in your own kitchen and quite embarrassing how many squares you will eat afterward. I simply cannot get over it.

It is a temptation hard to resist. It’s winning (because you made your own candy bar) but losing because you can’t stop eating it.

Then again, you are not making this copycat during your diet (I hope not!) so let’s just forget about the guilt and fully indulge in this decadent treat. Every single layer is absolutely delicious and together they make for one quite genius combo. Peanut butter chocolate bottom and top make for the perfect “packaging”, while nougat (yes, you can make your own nougat with just a few simple ingredients!) with peanuts and a gooey caramel layers create a mouth-watering filling for the bar. Absolutely irresistible!

If Snicker candy bars are your weakness or you know someone who loves them (for me, that would be my Hubby!) – take on this creation and make it! It is a time-consuming project only because there are a few layers made (and a few pots to clean) – but highly worth it! The payoff cannot be beaten! Each layer sets as you prepare the next one. The first time I made them, I actually had to stop after the nougat layer to finish my other projects. The beauty of no-bake desserts with layers is that you can stop after any layer and finish when ready. However, if the craving is strong and you want the bars now, you can make them quickly!

How to store Homemade Snickers Bars?

These Snicker bars are the best at room temperature because the caramel softens up and becomes gooey. You can store the leftovers in a freezer as you would with any store-bought candy bars. My Husband is crazy about this copycat and that says a lot! Homemade candy bars are so fun to make and incredible in taste. I have a few more recipes coming this holiday season so stay tuned, sweet friends!
