Equipment

  • approx. 23 x 13 cm loaf pan

Ingredients

for the caramel layer

  • 200 g salted peanuts
  • 100 g cream
  • 190 g sugar
  • 30 g butter
  • 90 ml water

for the nougat layer

  • 80 g honey
  • 220 g sugar
  • egg white of 2 eggs

for coating

  • 150 g dark chocolate
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

Preparation of the caramel layer

  • Spread sugar evenly on the bottom of a coated pan, pour water over it and cook it until the mixture turns a light caramel like color, stirring it occasionally. Make sure the mixture doesn't get too dark. (Be sure to follow the tips and tricks for making your own snickers at the top of this post).
  • Quickly add butter and stir until butter is melted.
  • Now add cream and stir it again briskly until the mixture becomes homogeneous.
  • Add peanuts, stir and remove from heat. Spread the peanut caramel mixture quickly on the bottom of the loaf pan lined with baking paper and let it set a bit while you prepare the nougat layer.

Preparation of the nougat layer

  • Put honey in a small saucepan with a thick bottom and heat it.
  • Add sugar to the honey and cook it until the sugar dissolves and the mixture gets a caramel like color.
  • While the caramel with honey is boiling, whip the egg whites in parallel to make fluffy egg whites.
  • Add the hot caramel with honey from the saucepan to the egg whites in a thin stream, without stopping to beat it. Beat it to a gooey nougat mixture and immediately spread it on the peanut caramel layer in the loaf pan. Place baking paper on top of the nougat layer so that the baking paper is in contact with the nougat surface, and refrigerate the loaf pan with the two layers for a few hours or overnight.

Preparation of the chocolate layer

  • Melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together.
  • Get the peanut caramel nougat mixture out of the loaf pan along with the baking paper, then remove the baking paper and cut the peanut-caramel nougat mixture into about 7 bars about the size of snickers.
  • Dip each bar in the melted chocolate, spread the bars on a sheet of baking paper and let the chocolate dry. Then place the snickers in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Notes

  • Do not let caramel mixture get too dark or burn.
  • Use only salty peanuts.
  • Be sure to line the loaf pan with baking paper.
  • Cooling time is not included in the preparation time.
