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
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 Directions: <\/a> 3.) Crush peanuts!<\/span><\/p>\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 <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> Top Chocolate Layer<\/b><\/span>

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
1.) Thoroughly grease your baking pan

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
