Snickers Fudge

Snickers Fudge is a heavenly treat that combines the irresistible flavors of chocolate, caramel, peanuts, and nougat, just like the classic candy bar. This homemade fudge is the perfect indulgence for anyone with a sweet tooth. Let’s dive into creating this decadent delight.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 3 cups (18 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups Snickers candy bars, chopped
• 1/2 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

1. Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides. This overhang will help you easily lift the fudge out of the pan.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

1. In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the semisweet chocolate chips. If using a microwave, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until it’s smooth and completely melted.
2. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can become too thick or grainy.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients

1. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter.
2. Stir the sweetened condensed milk and pure vanilla extract into the melted butter.
3. Pour this mixture into the melted chocolate and mix until well combined.

Step 4: Add the Goodness

1. Gently fold in the chopped Snickers candy bars and roasted peanuts. The mixture should be thick and luscious.

Step 5: Set in the Pan

1. Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking pan.
2. Use a spatula to smooth the top and ensure it’s evenly distributed.

Step 6: Chill and Set

1. Place the pan in the refrigerator and let the fudge set for at least 2-3 hours, or until it’s firm to the touch.

Step 7: Slice and Serve

1. Once the fudge is fully set, use the parchment paper overhangs to lift it out of the pan.
2. Place it on a cutting board and slice it into small squares or bars.

Step 8: Enjoy the Decadence

1. Serve your Snickers Fudge and indulge in the rich, chocolatey, and nutty delight.
2. Store any remaining fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

This Snickers Fudge is a decadent delight that captures the essence of the beloved candy bar. With its layers of chocolate, caramel, nougat, and peanuts, it’s the perfect sweet treat for any occasion. Whether you’re sharing it with friends, family, or just savoring it on your own, this homemade fudge is sure to satisfy your sweet cravings. Enjoy the indulgence!
