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.

Oh man, all this work to make a better chocolate bar? You are dedicated.
I’m fairly certain my boyfriend would be addicted to these as well! Super yum.
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*
and isn’t it our job to tempt them? =)
for sure =)
Ohhh yes. I imagine swapping out the nougat for ice cream would make this insane. I wonder if I could handle it? =)
This girls belly, that’s who! LOL, I kid.
thanks, Unni!
if it’s food language, I’m fairly fluent, lol =)
Insane is right. I literally had to put them away from sight and go somewhere else to prevent from eating the entire plate, lol.
Aw, that is too cute, Les!!
Glad you’re as enthusiastic as we were =)
I totally almost did!! =)
Home-made snickers bars!!! They must be much healthier than the bought variety
Oh man those look INCREDIBLE!!! Your Dad has good taste.
Hi Angela, I love chocolate and peanut butter. This is truly delectable, a to die for dessert.
It’s be the best way to go… With a mass if chocolate and peanut butter!
He’d say so
That’s what I tell myself, lol
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.
