The way to my man’s heart is definitely through his tummy. So, for Valentines Day I made him homemade Snickers, and let me tell you… he was through. the. roof. He couldn’t believe I had made such a thing and that they “actually taste just like a Snickers!”<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Big smile!<\/p>\n

And while a little time consuming, they really weren’t too hard! When I came across the inspiration for these\u00a0tantalizing\u00a0treats from a picture on \u00a0Pinterest<\/a>, I knew this would be the treat for my man.<\/p>\n

Here is the original recipe<\/a>, and below is the recipe I made with a few slight changes:<\/p>\n

Makes one 9×13 pan<\/p>\n

2 1\/2 cups of milk chocolate chips- Used in 2 parts
3\/4 cup peanut butter (I used Reduced Fat)- Used in 3 parts
1\/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1\/4 cup evaporated milk
1 1\/2 cups Marshmallow Fluff
1 1\/2 cups salted peanuts, roughly chopped
1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 14-ounce bag of caramels (I used three smaller bags of caramels, as Walmart didn’t have one large bag)
1\/4 cup whipping cream<\/p>\n

Directions:
1.) Thoroughly grease your baking pan

<\/u>
Bottom Chocolate Layer<\/b>
2.) Melt 1 1\/4 cups of chocolate chips with 1\/4 cup of peanut butter. You can do this in a saucepan over the stove, or in the microwave. I chose the microwave and melted the ingredients on high for 30 second intervals, stirring in-between each interval.\u00a0\u00a0Evenly spread the mixture on the bottom of the baking dish and let cool and completely harden.<\/p>\n

3.) Crush peanuts!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in sugar and evaporated milk, stirring until dissolved. B<\/span>ring to a boil and let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caramel Layer\u00a0<\/b>
4.) Combine caramels and whipping cream in a saucepan over low heat. Let melt, stirring occasionally, until smooth \u2013 this took me about 15-20 minutes. Evenly pour over nougat layer and let cool completely.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Top Chocolate Layer<\/b><\/span>
5.) Repeat step 2 and spread evenly over the caramel layer. Let cool and harden.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>

<\/span><\/span>

<\/span>
6.) Place pan in the\u00a0refrigerator\u00a0 to harden for at least an hour. My hubby preferred them right out of the fridge,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

and I liked them sitting out a little bit so the caramel got a little “gooey.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

Drool.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hubby’s words:<\/p>\n
