Homemade Snickers Bars

Now i'm just going to start this off letting you know this recipe is easy, but it will take most of your day to finish the bars. The outcome though is totally worth it. They taste exactly like a regular snickers. And you don't feel as  bad for eating a couple of these bars because they aren't as big, but they are filling!


Bottom Chocolate Layer:
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter


Thoroughly grease your baking pan (9 x 13). Melt ingredients together in a saucepan (or microwave) then pour into the baking dish and spread until even. Let cool and harden completely. 


Nougat Layer:
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cups salted peanuts, chopped
1 t vanilla extract


Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in sugar and milk, stirring until dissolved and bring to a boil. Let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in fluff, peanut butter and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Turn off heat and fold in peanuts, then pour over bottom chocolate later. Let cool completely. 


Caramel Layer:
1 14oz bag of caramels
1/4 cup whipping cream


Combine ingredients in saucepan over low heat. Let melt, stirring occasionally until smooth - this took about 10 minutes. Pour over nougat layer and let cool completely. 


Top Chocolate Layer:
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter. 


Melt ingredients in saucepan (or microwave), then pour over caramel and spread until even. Let cool and harden completely. 


Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving, then cut as desired. These can stay at room temp, but they do get gooey. I like them refrigerated, but let them sit on the counter for at least 5-10 minutes before biting into them because they do get pretty hard in the fridge.

White Chocolate Chip & Cranberry Cookies

I was craving a cookie but didn't want an old fashion chocolate chip, or something over powering with sweetness. I had all of these ingredients just sitting in my pantry waiting for me to use to make something quick & delicious.  I would say they're healthy for you since i used dried cranberries...but i feel like that would be pushing it :-P Ingredients: -3/4 cup softened butter -3/4 cup brown sugar -1/2 cup white sugar -1 egg -2t vanilla -1 3/4 cup flour -1/4t salt -1/2t baking soda -1 cup dried cranberries -1 cup white chocolate chips Lets get this party started: Preheat oven to 350 Blend butter, sugars, egg & vanilla until smooth.  Stir in flour, salt & baking soda (it gets pretty stiff). Add white chocolate chips & cranberries. (at this point i just hand stirred everything in instead of having the dough get stuck to the whisks on the electric mixer). Drop by rounded teaspoons on baking sheet, space them about...

A "little bit of everything" cookie

I know it's been a while, but I try to get on here as much as I can, and sadly it's not as much as I wish I could be.  I had some spare time tonight though and thought it was time for some cookies to be made!

Just baked this recipe this morning! How delicious!! Super easy to make (which is what i'm all about) and tastes like it just came from some professional bakery!
