Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cans sweetened condensed milk
- 2/3 c. peanut butter
- 1/2 c. water
- 2 egg whites
- 1 3/4 c. raw cane sugar
- 24 oz. milk chocolate chips
- 2 2/3 c. roasted peanuts
- 1–2 tbsp. Crisco
Instructions
Caramel
- Place a large pot on the stove and fill with water.
- Turn the burner on medium high heat and let the water come to a boil.
- Remove the wrappers on the cans of sweetened condensed milk and place in the poling water.
- Boil the two cans of sweetened condensed milk for two and a half hours.
- Let cool and then open, pour into a glass bowl, and set aside.
Peanut Butter Nougat
- In a stand mixer, pour egg whites and whisk on medium-high speed continuously.
- While the egg whites are being whipped, place a small pan on the stove and turn the burner on medium high heat.
- Add 1/2 c. of water to the pan with the raw cane sugar.
- Continuously whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to boil and reaches over 220 degrees.
- Carefully pour the hot liquid into the bowl with the egg whites while the mixer is still running on medium-high speed.
- Continue to mix on medium-high speed until the bowl is warm, approximately 5-8 minutes.
- Using a mini food processor, chop 2/3 c. peanuts and then pour into the mixing bowl.
- Fold the chopped peanuts and peanut butter into the fluffy egg white mixture.
Assembly
- Line a 9×13 cake pan with parchment paper and transfer the peanut butter nougat to the pan.
- Spread the nougat evenly on the parchment paper.
- Heat the caramel in a small pan on low heat on the stove and add in 2 cups of peanuts once thinned.
- Pour the caramel mixture over the nougat and spread evenly.
- Place in the pan in the freezer and freeze for 2-3 hours.
- Melt one cup of milk chocolate chips and 1 tsp. Crisco.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel, spreading evenly.
- Place back in the freezer for one hour.
- Remove from freezer and cut into small 1-2 inch squares.
- Place back in the freezer and melt two cups of milk chocolate chips and 2 tsp. Crisco.
- Take a few pieces of the snickers bars out of the freezer and dip in the chocolate.
- Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat this process until all snickers bars are dipped.
- Let the chocolate harden and then refrigerate the bars in an airtight container to ensure they stay fresh.
Notes
- The egg white, sugar and water mixture should be the consistency of a thick marshmallow fluff.
- Keep the snickers bars in the freezer and remove piece by piece while dipping in chocolate. This will ensure the nougat and caramel don’t get too soft for dipping.
