I’m crazy about these Homemade Snickers bars! With caramel, peanuts, chocolate and even marshmallow creme – these are even better than the original candy bar. I can’t get enough of them.
Homemade Snickers
Snickers are my all time favorite candy bar and this homemade version is fantastic! Just a hand full of ingredients and super easy to make. Don’t let the instructions intimidate you – there are several steps but very simple. A full pan of homemade snickers bars are assembled in just 20 minutes.
Ingredients You Will Need:
(full amounts in recipe box below)
- semi sweet chocolate chips

How To Make Homemade Snickers
- Using a double boiler, combine 1 C chocolate chips, and the 3 tbsp peanut butter and melt until smooth.
- Pour melted chocolate into the baking dish and smooth out. Place into the freezer while you make the nougat
- In a medium bowl, combine the marshmallow fluff, 1/4 C peanut butter and powder sugar. Mix until combined
- Using your hands, push down the nougat onto the first layer of chocolate.
- Lightly push in the peanuts.

How To Store Homemade Snickers:
Homemade Snickers hold up best in the fridge allowing them to keep their shape. Room temperature will also work in a cooler environment that isn’t too warm which can lead to melting or becoming too soft.
Tips:
One option is to cut the bars into smaller rectangles and dipping the entire bar into the chocolate. This will look a bit more like the authentic Snickers candy bar.
