You guys are in for a real treat today! I’m sharing the most delicious recipe for Homemade Snickers. This recipe is simply AMAZING! I’m not going to tell you how many I ate. ;)
These bad boys have now passed up my favorite no-bake dessert: Homemade Reeses. So what makes these homemade snickers my favorite? Well it combines my two favorite food groups… caramel and chocolate! Then just imagine the most delicious nougat filling which combines butter, sugar, marshmallow fluff AND peanut butter. Seriously. Can’t get enough!
The best part about these Homemade Snickers is they are super easy to make. Don’t let all those layers scare you. It takes a little bit of patience waiting for the layers to harden, but seriously… SOO worth the wait! Try this recipe, you will thank me later!

Once the bars have cooled, you can literally pull the whole thing out of the pan. Then slowly pull the foil off the sides and ooo and ahh at the delicious caramel.

Wow your friends and neighbors with these delicious Homemade Snickers bars. Wrap them up in wax paper and stamp (I used these stamps) a cute message on the top. You could even place them in a cute little basket and wrap it up with ribbon.
Store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to pass them out.
Your friends will take one bite and love you forever.
If you love snickers… you must make these. Then enjoy every last bite! The end.
Happy baking! xo -jamielyn

Oh YES! I adore Snickers. Can’t wait to try these… going on my Christmas baking list FOR SURE!
They seriously are so yummy! We had to give them away because we kept eating them. Hope you’re doing well Bettijo! :)
Hi Jamielyn. I LOVE snickers and had to check it out and pin to make one day. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I hope you & your family have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

If you love snickers, you will definitely love these too! They are so yummy. Thank you Heather…I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving too! :)
Wow! They look amazing!! I pinned them and can’t wait to make some!
xoxo
They are a new favorite treat in our house right now, the kids keep asking to make them again! Hope you enjoy Jen! :)
I am a Snickers lover! These bars should come with a danger or warning sign :) Pinning!
WARNING…these are so delicious and addicting! Hope you enjoy Brenda! :)
OH YUM- these won’t last long in this house.
Seriously…they were gone so fast in our house! But they were oh so good. :)
Oh Jamielyn! I am in so much trouble ;)
So worth it! ;) Splurge a little…they are so yummy!
Did you refrigerate each layer. Could I place each layer in the freezer? Thanks these look sooooo good!
Yes, I did refrigerate each layer! You could definitely put hem in the freezer…they should turn out the same! :)
Okay, these looks SOOO good. I definitely need to give them a try. YUM! YUM!!
They seriously are so yummy! Make sure you have plenty people to share with or you WILL eat them all! Haha!
I can’t even look! Seriously…these look THAT dangerous to me!
Hahah, splurge a little Amy!! ;)
Can’t wait to make these!! Tell me something, is marshmallow fluff and marshmallow cream interchangeable?? I have the cream but can’t find the fluff!! Thanks for all you do!
I’ve never seen the marshmallow fluff but I assume they are the same thing! I’m sure it would turn out great with both! :)
So your recipe says ‘fluff’ but you use the cream?? Sorry, sometimes I’m a goof on these types of things. Thanks for your response!
Can the Homemade Snickers Bars be frozen? Thanks!
Yes, just take them out to thaw before serving them! :)
I made these this weekend and brought them to two parties! They were a HUGE hit at both! Everyone kept asking how I made them!! They looked just like yours and tasted incredible! We decided they are the best right out of the fridge…nice and cold! YUM!! We will definitely be making these again and again, thanks for the recipe!!! :)
I made these today – delicious! I think (and my husband does too) these are even better than snickers. I used 3T heavy cream instead of 4 (1/4 cup) for the Carmel and it is solid enough to sit out, but still creamy. Have you tried putting a layer of tempered chocolate over the final cut bar? I think it would keep the chocolate from melting on your fingers as you eat them, but then again I really ate them too fast for that to matter this time…
Thanks for a great recipe!
I’m glad you liked them…these snickers bars are seriously my weakness! I’ve never tried using a layer of tempered chocolate, that is a great idea though! Thanks for your comment Maggie! :)
I’m glad you liked the snickers!! I’ve never tried putting a layer of tempered chocolate over the bar, but I think that it would work good! :)
Whoa! the snickers look yummy and definitely hardcore. It will definitely take a lot of restraint to not eat too many.
They are super rich and delicious, hope you enjoy them! :)
Are you kidding me right now? These look amazing. Pinned. Thank you!!!
They are amazing as they look! :)
Love your recipe
Thanks Anne! :)
do u have any chocolate recipes for diabetics?
yummy
On the recipe layer 3 how much caramels? 114 oz? that´s 3 kilos for me. I hope you can answer soon. I want to do the snickers soon! Thank you very much. Paula
It is 14 oz not 114 oz of caramels! :)
Has anyone used Sunflower butter… we can’t use peanut and I love snickers.
Hi! These look amazing!! I was wondering if you whip the cream before cooking it in a sauce pan with the caramel?? The recipie list says “whipping cream” but the instructions say whipped… so I just wanted to make sure!!
Hi Camila! You don’t need to whip the cream before mixing it with the caramel, just put it in as is. :)
These sound delicious and will definitely try. Thanks
I like those snicker recipes I would like more heathly foods that dose not have no saturated fat in it sat fat 0 grams of saturated fat less calories more protein thanks and I can post them on my Facebook page to my friends and special olympics mn
Quick question…can i use the semi sweet chocolate chips?
Yes definitely! Both will work great! :)
These look AWESOME!. We dont have “marshmellow fluff” in South Africa, any idea on a good substitute? I really want to make them.
Thanks B
Hi Bianca! I have not used a substitute but found this substitute for marshmallow fluff on another website: http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf27030552.tip.html.
Your bars look So-o-o good I can’t wait to try them! I also will try your wonderful suggestions for Mason jars . Love your site !
They are amazing! Hope you enjoy them Susan! :)
I have a nut allergy so I made these with SunButter sunflower butter — and I subbed sunflower seeds for the chopped peanuts — they turned out DELICIOUS! Cut them into roughly 2×1-inch bars and got four dozen “snickers” out of this recipe.
I think I’d like to try and make them and layer ingredients in paper cupcake liners using cupcake baking pans instead of making in one large pan and then cutting them into squares. I make coconut chocolate balls and use small candy liners and they turn out perfectly and look so professional.
I bet they will turn out lovely!
I’m usually not a huge fan of overwhelming peanut butter in
desserts. I know snickers bars have peanuts in them but I didn’t
think it had actual Peanut butter. What do you think th outcome
would be if I omitted the peanut butter?
If you omitted the peanut butter all together, it may not hold its shape as well. Otherwise, it should still be delicious! :)
Going to make these for my husband’s birthday. So is it heavy whipping cream or whipped cream like cool whip??
Heavy cream, but not whipped. :)
Will try these soon. Sounds great
This recipe is simply AMAZING!

Hi Sharon! Did you fill out your name and email in the subscribe box? It sometimes takes a while for a confirmation email to come to you. If you are still having problems, send me an email at community@iheartnaptime.net. Thanks!
I have made these several times over the last few years. My teenaged son doesn’t like Snickers, but LOVES THESE!!!! I delivered some to the front office ladies at my daughter’s elementary school and received an email about how I had “grown women swooning” over how delicious they are. If you aren’t sure about this recipe, I PROMISE you need to try it – you will NOT be disappointed!!!!!!! As my 4 yo says, “They are fantastic!!!”
I’m so glad these have been a hit for you! Even though they take a little longer than most treats, they are one of our favorites! Thanks for your comment and review Lisa. :)
