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.
