4 Layer Mock Snicker Candy Bars

Submitted by OceanIvy

"When I saw this recipe, I really was amazed. Many "snickers" bars recipes do not call for the butterscotch chips and a few other ingredients. I thought this just sounded heavenly, and way better than the snickers. I have not made them yet though, so please let me know what you think if you do!"

This is a wonderful recipe, but labor intensive. I don't like nuts so I substituted mimi M&M's. Friends raved and asked for the recipe

One of my family's favorite treats! My hubby doesn't like nuts, so I just leave them out & it's still very good - I just call them Milky Way bars instead.

This is a great recipe and everyone loves it, but it would be much cheaper to line a pan with real snickers bars because of the cost of ingredients. It's approximately $14 to make this recipe.

I have made one batch of these mock snickers bars, and they were such a hit; I had a volume of requests, so I made a 2nd batch. I followed the recipe, but I gave a variation of my own and coated the bars in dipping chocolate. Delicious! :-)
