Homemade Snickers Bars
This last week I finally hit my pre-pregnancy weight goal. Hooray! Only took me 2 years.
To celebrate I made these insane homemade snickers bars from How Sweet It Is and then ate the whole pan. Maybe you’ve seen this recipe dancing around on Pinterest? It’s been on my to-do list for months and I finally couldn’t hold out any longer. You probably shouldn’t either.
The recipe is quite simple, but there are several steps and you’ll be left with more than a few sticky dishes. But it’s totally worth it, I dare say these are better than the real thing!
Homemade Snickers Bars
The classic candy bar, but homemade!
Ingredients
Bottom chocolate layer:
- 1 ¼ cups milk chocolate chips (213 grams)
- ¼ cup peanut butter (68 grams)
Nougat layer:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (55 grams)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
- ¼ cup evaporated milk (60 ml)
- 1 ½ cups marshmallow fluff (128 grams)
- ¼ cup peanut butter (68 grams)
- 1 ½ cup salted peanuts , roughly chopped (215 grams)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Caramel layer:
- 14 ounce bag vanilla caramels (400 grams)
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream (60 ml)
Top chocolate layer:
- 1 ¼ cups milk chocolate chips (213 grams)
- ¼ cup peanut butter (68 grams)
Instructions
Chocolate bottom layer:
- Thoroughly grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. 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:
- 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:
- Combine caramels and cream 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:
- 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!

Happy Sunday Morning Annalise!
It’s bright and sunny in Wisconsin today and should finally give hope of Spring as the temps are supposed to reach the mid-fifties—the birds are certainly celebrating. I enjoy the personal touch of your posts and the great pictures of some of your simple joys. Keep it up!
I’ve been wanting to try naan for awhile so thanks for the push.
Congrats on the weight loss–I’ve been having some success on that front as well so I think I’ll pass on making the scrumptious looking Snickers bars (although cream puffs are on my learn to do list and those sound even more dangerous).
Have a good week!
Congratulations on your weight loss! My favorite jeans are Eddie Bauer. I own several pairs and they have lasted years without fading or wearing out. Depending on your body shape, they come in truly straight, slightly curvy, and curvy. They also come in different lengths, washes, and cuts. Best of all, they are affordable. 🙂
Thanks so much for the recommendation!! I’ll check it out!
I’m looking for a great chicken tikka masala recipe. You’ll have to share it soon. So glad you enjoyed the bread. Thanks for the shout out. Your little angel just gets cuter and cuter.
Thank YOU Barbara for such an easy and delicious naan recipe! The tikka masala recipe I used came from Eat, Live, Run (http://www.eatliverun.com/slow-cooker-chicken-tikka-masala/). It was pretty good, but I think I’m still on the hunt for the perfect recipe. I’ll be sure to let you know when I find it!
Congrats on hitting your weight loss goal! I actually buy most of my jeans from American Eagle…they last a long time, fit well, and are generally less than $40 a pair. Win/win. 😉
Thanks Emily! Most of the jeans I have now are currently from AE, and while I do like the price, mine seem to wear out waaaay too fast. Love their skinnies, though!
Those snickers bars look INSANE. And Bungle Guck is my favorite thing ever…
oh wow!! These look good! Snickers are my favorite junk food 🙂
I love J brand jeans. I was wearing gap ones before and my sister convinced me to make the swap. I’ll never go back. Not only are they so much more comfy, they are way more flattering. I get them off piperlime when there’s 20 or 30% off. Good luck!
Your baby is the winner on this beautiful Sunday!!! I love the recipes and intend to try them, but your son’s photos make my day!!!
Aww, what a sweet comment. Thank you!! 🙂
