No Bake Crispy Snickers Bars are a decadent, indulgent treat that combines all the best elements of a Snickers candy bar—chocolate, caramel, nougat, and peanuts—into an easy-to-make, no-bake dessert.

Ingredients

12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

11 ounces butterscotch chips, divided

1 cup creamy peanut butter, divided

3 cups Cocoa Pebbles, divided

¼ cup unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

¼ cup evaporated milk

7 ounces marshmallow creme

¼ cup creamy peanut butter

1 ½ cups roasted lightly salted peanuts, coarsely chopped

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

11 ounces bag KRAFT caramels or caramel bits

¼ cup evaporated milk

Instructions

  1. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray and line with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a large microwave-safe container, combine half of the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Stir in half of the Cocoa Pebbles until fully coated. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, and evaporated milk over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat.
  5. Stir in marshmallow creme, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Fold in the chopped peanuts. Pour the nougat layer over the chilled chocolate bottom layer and refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
  6. In a microwave-safe container, combine the unwrapped caramels and evaporated milk. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and heat in 30-second intervals until the caramel is completely melted. Spread the caramel over the nougat layer and refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
  7. Repeat the bottom layer process: combine the remaining chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter in a microwave-safe container. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chips are fully melted and smooth.
  8. Stir in the remaining Cocoa Pebbles until fully coated. Pour the mixture on top of the chilled caramel layer. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  9. Once firm, cut into bars and serve. Keep refrigerated until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • For a crunchy variation, add additional nuts such as almonds or cashews to the nougat layer.
  • These bars can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
  • They can be frozen for up to 3 months, just be sure to store them in an airtight container or wrap tightly to avoid freezer burn.
