Homemade Snickers

Looking to gain 20 pounds?? Well, you've come to the right place. Once you start with one of these bars, you will not stop until the whole pan is gone. The serving size is 1 inch piece and it is rich enough for that to be enough of a snack...but that never stops us from having a larger piece! This treat needs to be refrigerated, but we found it tastes best when put out at room temperature a little bit before eating. The ooey-gooey goodness will ooze out with each bite!

Homemade Snicker Bars

1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup peanut butter

Filling = 1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup chopped peanuts

Caramel Layer = 1 pkg caramels
1/4 cup whipping cream

Icing = 1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Line a 9x13 pan with foil (butter it). Combine first three ingredients in a small saucepan, stir over low heat until melted and smooth mixture into the prepared pan. Chill to set.

Filling - Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add sugar and milk and bring to a gentle boil and stir for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in marshmallow creme, peanuts, butter, and vanilla. Add this mixture over the first layer. Chill until set.

Combine caramel and whipping cream in a saucepan. Stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Cook and stir 4 minutes longer. Be careful as it will scortch if not stirred!! Spread over filling. Chill until set.

In another saucepan, combine chips and peanut butter. Stir over low heat until melted smooth. Pour over caramel layer. Chill and least 4 hours. Remove from frig for 20 minutes before cutting. Remove from pan and cut into 1 inch squares.

Enjoy!
