Homemade Snickers Recipe | I can't stop eating these! Better than Snickers

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

milk chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate

Dark chocolate has less sugar and more antioxidants.

peanut butter

🥗Healthier: natural peanut butter

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Natural peanut butter has no added sugar or oils.

granulated sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Coconut sugar has a lower glycemic index.

Begin by separating the yolk from 1 large egg to get just the egg white.

Use a hand mixer to beat the egg white until stiff peaks form.

In a saucepan, combine 2/3 cup white granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon water, and 1/3 cup corn syrup.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches 255 to 260 degrees Fahrenheit, stirring occasionally.

Once the sugar mixture reaches the correct temperature, slowly drizzle it into the beaten egg whites while mixing.

Continue mixing for about 30 seconds to a minute until combined.

Spray two bread loaf pans with cooking spray and evenly distribute about a third of the nougat mixture into each pan.

Chill the nougat in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.

Melt 30 Kraft caramels with 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream or whole milk in the microwave in bursts of 25 to 30 seconds, stirring in between until melted.

Add 3/4 cup slightly salted roasted peanuts to the melted caramel and mix well.

Spread the caramel mixture over the chilled nougat in the loaf pans and return to the fridge for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up.

Once the caramel is set, remove the nougat from the pans and cut it into pieces.

Melt 1/2 bar of candy coating and 1 cup of Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips in the microwave in bursts of 30 seconds, stirring until smooth.

Dip each piece of nougat into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift it out and tapping off excess chocolate.

Place the dipped pieces on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Return the dipped Snickers to the fridge until the chocolate sets, about 30 minutes.

Trim the edges of the Snickers for a cleaner look, if desired.
