How to Make Snickers Candy Bars
- **Prepare the chocolate base:** In a microwave-safe bowl, melt together 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 1/2 cup butterscotch chips, and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter. Stir until smooth. Spread evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Refrigerate or freeze while you prepare the next layer.
- **Make the caramel-peanut layer:** In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup evaporated milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil for 5 minutes.
- **Combine with marshmallows and peanuts:** Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 1/2 cups chopped peanuts. Mix until well combined.
- **Layer and chill:** Pour the marshmallow mixture over the chilled chocolate layer in the pan. Return to the freezer or refrigerator to chill.
- **Make the caramel topping:** In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 14 ounces of caramels with 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream until completely smooth and pourable.
- **Layer and chill again:** Pour the melted caramel evenly over the chilled marshmallow layer. Return to the freezer or refrigerator.
- **Final chocolate layer:** Melt the remaining 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 1/2 cup butterscotch chips, and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter. Spread over the caramel layer.
- **Chill and set:** Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set. This allows the bars to firm up nicely and makes cutting easier.
- **Cut and enjoy:** Once set, cut into bars and store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. Enjoy your amazing homemade Snickers bars!
