Tips & Tricks (5)

Caramel Consistency Magic 🍯
Use a candy thermometer to ensure your caramel reaches exactly 240-245°F (soft ball stage) for the perfect chewy texture that holds its shape.
Chocolate Tempering Trick 🍫
Melt chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each to prevent burning and achieve a smooth, glossy finish.
Layering Precision 🥜
Freeze each layer for 15-20 minutes between additions to create clean, distinct layers that won't mix and maintain the classic Snickers bar structure.
Peanut Preparation Pro 🔪
Toast salted peanuts in a dry skillet for 3-4 minutes before adding to enhance their nutty flavor and provide a crunchier texture.
Storage Preservation 🧊
Store homemade Snickers bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking and maintain up to 2 weeks.
