Homemade Snickers Candybars

The peanut nougat steals the show in this candy bar makeover. This version of the Snickers™ nougat is chewy, fluffy, and packed with peanut flavor. Layer that with pleasantly salty peanut caramel and rich milk chocolate, and you’ll be scarfing these down before the kids get a chance.

Special Equipment:
Kitchen scale
Tape measure
Deep-frying/candy thermometer
Pastry brush
Chocolate thermometer
Poultry lifter
