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.

Easiest Quinoa "Salad"

Who doesn't like a 5-ingredient dinner/snack? Granted, there could be a little more prep time depending on what you have laying around but for a mom that's always on the go with Baseball Practice and who knows what else...this is perfect. I cooked my Quinoa in my rice cooker, it was super easy to just dump it in there and walk away. If you don't have a rice cooker, just follow the instructions on the back of the bag. You can find Quinoa in the rice section of the grocery store usually, if not there check by the Organics. Side note : Whether I cook my Quinoa in a pot or in my rice cooker, I always cook it in Chicken Broth, adds more flavor! You'll notice the difference between water and Chicken Broth, I promise! If you have some cooked chicken already, perfect. If not, I usually get a rotisserie chicken and just shred it. Luckily, Matthew's mom has been buying me whole chickens and cooking them in the crockpot for me (because she's awesome) and then sending
