• Ready In: 1hr 30mins
• Ingredients: 11
• Yields: 24 bars
• Serves: 24

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1⁄4 cup light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 dash salt
• 3 cups powdered sugar
• 35 unwrapped Kraft caramels
• 1 cup dry roasted salted peanut
• 24 ounces milk chocolate chips

directions

1. With mixer on high speed, combine 1 Tbs. water, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, peanut butter and salt until creamy. Slowly add powdered sugar.
2. When the mixture has the consistency of dough, remove from the bowl with your hands and press into a lightly greased 9 x 9 inch pan. Set in the refrigerator.
3. Melt the caramels in a small pan with 2 Tbs. water over low heat.
4. When the caramel mix is soft, mix in the peanuts. Pour the mixture over the refrigerated nougat in the pan. Let this cool in the refrigerator.
5. When the refrigerated mixture is firm, melt the chocolate over low heat in a double broiler or in a microwave oven set on high for 2 minutes. Stir halfway through cooking time.
6. When the mixture in the pan has hardened cut it into 4 x 1 inch sections.
7. Set each chunk onto a fork and dip into the melted chocolate. Tap the form to knock off any excess chocolate. Then place the chunks on waxed paper to cool at room temp (less than 70 degrees F.) This could take several hours, but the bars will set best this way. You can speed up the process by placing the bars in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Oh My Gosh! Loved this! Super awesome recipe. Instead of using kraft caramels I used Recipe #367414 and it turned out great. I can't wait to make these again. The only change I would make is to dip in semi-sweet chocolate chips because the nougat layer itself is pretty sweet combined with the milk chocolate. Overall, great recipe. Thanks for posting.

I made up some cookies for my kids and then saw this recipe and knew I HAD to try it since Snickers are my favorite candy bar! These came out so good! I think this new and revised recipe is "right on" Linda. They are great! Thanks for sharing! Karen
