How to Make Snickers Bar Copycat
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, peanut butter, salt, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until just combined. Increase speed to medium and beat for another minute until the mixture is well incorporated.
- Once the mixture resembles a thick dough, turn it out onto a lightly greased 9x9 inch baking pan. Press evenly into the pan using your hands.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the caramels, stirring occasionally until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the roasted peanuts until well combined.
- Pour the caramel-peanut mixture evenly over the chilled nougat layer in the pan.
- Refrigerate for another 30 minutes to allow the caramel layer to set.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. (Microwave method: Stir halfway through.)
- Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, carefully pour it over the caramel layer, spreading evenly to coat.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set.
- Once firm, cut the candy bar into 2x1 inch bars.
- (Optional) For extra shine, you can dip the cut bars back into melted chocolate before placing them on wax paper to cool.
- Let the bars cool completely at room temperature (or speed up the process by refrigerating for 30 minutes).
