Homemade Snickers Bars

Bottom Chocolate Layer:
- 1¼ cups milk chocolate chips
- ¼ cup peanut butter
Nougat Layer:
- ¼ cup salted butter (yes, salted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup half and half cream

Top Chocolate Layer:

Instructions
- Line 9×13 pan with nonstick foil.
- Bottom layer: Microwave chocolate chips and peanut butter together until smooth. Spread in your pan and place in freezer.
- Nougat layer: Melt the butter on low in pot. Add half & half and sugar. Raise heat to bring to a boil, cooking for 5 mins. Lower heat and add marshmallow fluff and peanut butter until smooth. Stir the whole time. Off heat add the peanuts and stir. Spread over the cold chocolate layer in your pan and return to freezer to set.

What about cutting in smaller squares, and freeze, then dip in milk chocolate to keep the caramel from ozzing? Have you tried this?

These look really good. I was just wondering though, what is half and half cream, marshmellow crème, and what kind of caramel would you recommend? What did you use yourself? I’m not sure if we have all of these ingredients available in Australia.
danielle says
kraft caramels, half & half is a type of cream sold here and the creme is like fluff-hope that helps
Patty says
half and half cream is simply – half heavy cream, and half milk. To make 1 cup of half and half cream, use 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream.
And if you can’t find a jar of marshmallow cream, you can add 8 oz of marshmallows, then stir until marshmallows are melted and smooth. You might put them in the pot the last 30 seconds before you add the peanut butter. Good luck.

Ok so half and half can probably be substituted for heavy whipping. When you cook it just be careful cause the cream will cook faster than half and half. Sometimes i will mix milk and whipping cream together if i need half and half. Marshmallow fluff or cream has
the same consistency as a melted marshmallow. I know that in Europe i think its called Mallow cream (not sure if i spelt that right).
Danella says
Natalie most Woolworths now carry marshmallow fluff alongside peanut butter/ vegemite etc.
I’m sure you could just use top n fill caramel instead of the caramels and cream mix. As for the half and half cream I’m not sure, generally you don’t use pre whipped cream in cooking so it’s either a general pouring cream or double cream. Perhaps half and half? I dare say you could easily investigate what half and half actually consists of online.
Good luck, these sound superb!
Ryan says
Half and Half is a mixture of equal parts cream and milk. Marshmallow cream/fluff is sold in the U.S. in large tubs, essentially just very large tub of marshmallow.
Natalie Kerr says
Thanks Danielle. Will see what I can find. 🙂
KG says
Marshmallow Fluff is sold in Woolworths near the vegemite
