Sometimes you just need to indulge.
You can’t really get more indulgent than
chocolate
nougat
peanuts
and caramel.
This is definitely a sometimes food.
It’s kinda a labor of love in that it is a time-consuming recipe.
Also, you’ll need a candy thermometer to make the caramel layer.
Vegan marshmallows are available in some health food stores or online.
You can buy soy sweetened condensed milk or make your own.

Description
Homemade vegan snickers bars.
Ingredients
Scale
- Nougat layer:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup Earth Balance
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed soy milk
- 2 cups vegan marshmallows
- 1 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups salted peanuts
- Carmel layer:
- 1/2 cup Earth Balance
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup soy milk
- 1/2 light corn syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- Chocolate layer:
- 3 cups cholate chips
- 3/4 cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper.
- Nougat layer: In a medium saucepan combine sugar, Earth Balance, and sweetened condensed soy milk. Bring to a boil. Continue to boil for 6 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in peanut butter, marshmallows and vanilla until well combined. Stir in peanuts.
- Spread mixture evenly over the baking pan and place in freezer while making next layer.
- Carmel layer: Place all ingredients (except for vanilla) in a saucepan. Heat mixture to 240 degrees F, stirring often. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
- Spread over nougat layer and return to the freezer. Leave in freezer until caramel is firm to the touch (approximately 15-20 min).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Remove the pan from the freezer and cut the candy into 24 bars.
- Place the bars on the baking tray and return to the freezer if the caramel is getting soft.
- Chocolate layer: In a microwave heat chocolate and peanut butter, checking every 20 seconds until melted and smooth. Place nougat and caramel bars into the chocolate one at a time and roll until completely covered. You’ll want to work quickly so that the caramel doesn’t have a chance to melt. Return the bar to the baking tray. Once all the bars are covered, place the tray back in the freezer until chocolate has set.
