One of the things I clearly remember my grandma making for Christmas was homemade snickers. They are so good and messy. My grandma made them every year and when she was unable to see anymore she had my mom make them. I think I have made them one other time. I think it’s time to carry on the tradition.

These are pretty easy to make, but are a little time consuming.

Homemade Snickers 12 oz milk chocolate chips 2 Tbsp oil 50 pieces or 14 oz caramels 3 Tbsp butter 1 cup peanuts, chopped Grease or line with plastic or parchment paper an 8″x8″ baking pan, set aside. In a double boiler, melt chips and oil together. Pour half of the chocolate into the pan. Put into the fridge for 15 minutes. While the chocolate is chilling, melt caramels & butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Once melted, mix in peanuts and pour over hardened chocolate. Pour remaining chocolate over caramel. Place in fridge for 30 minutes. Cut into squares & serve.

Refrigerate any left over snickers.
