Homemade snickers bars

October 7, 2014 by Roxana 60 Comments

Nougat, peanuts and caramel sandwiched between two chocolate layers, these homemade snickers bars come together in 30 minutes tops! Faster than going to the store to buy some! Nougat, peanuts and caramel sandwiched between two thick layers of chocolate, these homemade snickers bars come together in 30 minutes tops!

Yes, I did it! I made my own snickers bars! And you should too! They are just ah-mazing!

I love Snickers bars! We have a history since way back in high school. They were my BFF’s during mid-term and final exams. I would keep a few to snack on late at night while studying for the tests.

I loved the combination of nougat, caramel, and peanuts… not to mention the chocolate coat!

I have seen versions of homemade snickers for about a year now, popping up in my Pinterest feed but all of them took a whole day to make.

Make the chocolate layer – chill

Make the nougat – refrigerate for few hours

Pour the caramel layer – refrigerate some more

Another chocolate layer and back in the fridge

I don’t know about you, but I do not have that much patience!

I’ve been brainstorming, trying to figure out where I can cut corners to make my own snickers bars faster without compromising the taste.

And I finally figured it!

Now you can make your own snickers bars in 30 minutes tops! Nougat, peanuts and caramel sandwiched between two thick layers of chocolate, these homemade snickers bars come together in 30 minutes tops! Faster than going to the store to buy some!

          Hi Roxana! Just a quick question: What kind of caramels are needed? Hard candy caramels or soft caramels or could Hershey's caramel sauce even work? Please let me know! I can't wait to try this recipe!!

            Hi Hannah, I use soft caramels. You can either use the ones from Kraft or Werther's Original Baking Caramel. They both will work. Roxana

      Hi Christine, The snickers don't require refrigeration unless you want to keep them for longer than 1 day. And to answer your question, no, they don't turn all mushy if kept at room temperature. They hold their shape quite well. Roxana

    Hello Roxann , an Aussie here who also luvs green - my favourite colour ! Your recipe looks devine but not sure of a few ingredients. Is the "confectioners powdered sugar" the same as "icing sugar"? Also what is "marshmallow fluff" ? Would this be similar to the toasting marshallows ? Are "semi sweet chocolates" dark chocolates? Sorrry bout all the questions but ingredients differ in Australia and i am eager to try your recipe ut. keep cooking ! Michelle

      Hi Michelle, I do not know exactly the Aussie names for the ingredients I used in the recipe, but I will try to clarify "confectioners powdered sugar" is also named powder sugar or icing sugar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powdered_sugar Marshmallow fluff is not toasted marshmallows. I don't think you can find it anywhere but in the US. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshmallow_creme You can make it at home if you want. http://www.chow.com/recipes/30296-homemade-marshmallow-creme Semi sweet chocolate is not dark chocolate. Dark chocolate is unsweetened while the semi-sweet, just like the name suggests has some sugar added to it

    It sure looks like you just took the top picture from Imperial Sugar's website, cropped it, and then put you website name on it like it was your own picture. Not cool.

      Hi Missy, Thanks for your concern. I did not steal the photo from Imperial Sugar website. At the bottom of the recipe on the Imperial Sugar website it says IMPERIAL SUGAR INSIGHT Recipe developed for Imperial Sugar by Roxana Yawgel at Roxana's Home Baking. I was the one taking the photos to use on both my blog and their website.

    Hi Roxana, I made these and my family loved them! One question- my fluff layer came out with a very weird texture- very crumbly. It tasted great but I was wondering how you got it to a soft dough consistency. I followed the recipe - any suggestions? Also- my chocolate layer seemed to keep sliding off when they were cut in squares. Do yours? Thank for sharing the recipe-they are really good!

      November 26, 2014 at 4:15 pm

      Hi lori, I'm sorry to hear you had trouble with these bars. The marshmallow layer needs to be knead until it's not crumbly anymore. The heat from your hands helps the process. As for the top chocolate layer, mine did not slid off. I wonder why yours did.

    Hello! I'm making these right now! My chocolate base is in the freezer still hardening and my nougat is just made. buuuuut I may have a problem! I bought "heavy whipping cream" is that much different than "whipping cream"? Would I be able to use the heavy whipping cream or would that totally change it to more of a whipped carmel?! I can't get to the store right now ahh! I accidentally bought the wrong one! So excited to see how these turn out :)

      December 11, 2014 at 5:09 pm

      Hi Victoria, When cooking with cream there's no difference between heavy whipping cream and whipping cream. Both will work just as fine. The only time you need to be worry is when a recipe calls for the cream to be whipped. One will whip to firm peaks the other one won't. Hope you enjoyed the bars, Roxana

      Hi Shanna, I was the one who made the Snickers bars for Imperial Sugar, that's why you see the same photo on both sites. If you scroll to the bottom of the recipe on Imperial Sugar website, it is noted "Recipe developed for Imperial Sugar by Roxana Yawgel at Roxana's Home Baking."

    I was really excited to try these. They were very easy to make and very tasty. They Might have even taken me less time if I prepped before hand. I absolutely love snickers, with that said I felt that these tasted more like a reese's peanut butter cup (Which I also love) , I was just really excited for that snickers taste and all I got was peanut butter. easy recipe, good texture, good taste but I'll probably stick to store bought snickers for now.

    Delicious! I had some trouble getting the nougat to spread over the chocolate. Probably because I was impatient. I sprinkled some powdered sugar on the counter and rolled it out using a rolling pin. Worked beautifully. Going to try the Twix recipie next.
