Homemade Snicker Candy

County fairs in Minnesota means taking out the cool recipes and giving them a try for the blue ribbon at the local county fair. With the fair coming fast it was time to give this one a try!
We think that this is definitely better than original Snickers candy bar, and will become an extra ordinary family favorite. So get ready for this sweet treat!

Homemade Snickers Candy
Ingredients:
2 cups milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup peanut butter (divided)
3 cups marshmallows
2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 cup peanuts
1/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 14oz bag caramels

Grease a sheet of wax paper big enough to go in a 9x13 pan. Grease the whole sheet. I just did the bottom and the sides stuck. But who care's?

Melt the chocolate chips on medium low in small saucepan or watch carefully and check each 10 seconds in the microwave. Then stir in the peanut butter. Pour half into the pan and place in the freezer, save the rest for later for the top.

Now melt butter in a small saucepan on medium heat and add 1/4 c. evaporated milk. Boil for 3 minutes. After the 3 minutes, remove from heat. Melt marshmallows and measure 2 1/2 cups and mix in your corn syrup and add to your butter/milk mixture. Stir and add 1/4 c. peanut butter and the peanuts. Take cooled chocolate out of the freezer and put peanut mix on top and place back in freezer on a flat surface.

Unwrap your caramels and place them in a small pot with the rest of the evaporated milk.  Melt stirring constantly. When it is completely melted put on cold peanut layer.
Now melt the remaining chocolate and peanut butter. After the caramel has cooled enough, put on the chocolate and place in freezer for about 30 minute's or the fridge. And if you can't wait like me you should at least let it sit 15 min.. :(  But it is well worth the wait for this is AMAZING!
