One of my favourite aspects of being part of a
RPG group, is that I get to bake and share treats with my gaming friends. I love making sweet things for this particular group of people as they all genuinely enjoy yummy treats. My friends are also very open about how much they appreciate the goodies too - which always makes me feel great. I was raised to see food as love so I am happy to have so many wonderful people to share my baking experiments with. This is the good life! :)
Our most recent get together I made Snickers Bar Squares. This recipe is slighly adapted from the amazing
yoyomax12. Definitely check out her
YouTube Channel. Her videos are awesome.
This is a no bake recipe that has four layers, each of which has to set in the fridge before you can start the next layer. I was marathoning
Breaking Bad when I made these, so each layer was made between an episode, or about every 45 minutes.
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Layer One: Chocolate
Ingredients:
2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
3 tbs butterscotch chips
3 tbs peanut butter
Add ingredients to microwave safe bowl. Melt in microwave, stirring every 15 seconds, for 1 minute.
Pour into prepared pan and place in fridge to set.
Layer Two: Nougat
Ingredients:
3 tbs margarine
2/3 cup white granulated sugar
3 tbs cream
1 cup marshmallow fluff
3 tbs peanut butter
2/3 tsp vanilla
1 cup chopped salted peanuts
Add the margarine, sugar, and cream to medium saucepan on medium heat. Stir and cook until it begins to boil. Continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter, vanilla, and marshmallow fluff. Stir in chopped peanuts.
Spread nougat over the chocolate layer and place in the fridge to set.
Layer Three: Caramel
Ingredients:
200g caramels (about 28)
2 tbs cream
Unwrap the caramels (*note: unwrapping them is the worst*), and place in small saucepan with cream over low heat. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
Spread over nougat layer and place in the fridge to set.
Layer Four: More Chocolate
This layer is the exact same as layer one.
Ingredients:
2/3 cup milk chocolate chips
3 tbs butterscotch chips
3 tbs peanut butter
Add ingredients to microwave safe bowl. Melt in microwave, stirring every 15 seconds, for 1 minute. Spread over caramel layer and leave in the fridge to set.
Once hardened, cut into delicious squares.
Share with friends and enjoy!
I cut these a few hours before taking them to gaming night and found the caramel got a little unruly, and oozed a little out of the squares. Next time I might add a little less cream to the caramel layer to make it a little firmer.
