Snickers Fudge has all the elements of the classic candy bar: think thick layers of chocolate fudge, gooey caramel, salty peanuts, and plush nougat. All of the flavors and textures work wonderfully well together. Because of all the layers, this fudge takes a little time and planning, but the final result is delicious and totally worth it.
If the picture doesn’t make you drool, I don’t know what will. Gooey caramel, peanuts, and chocolate. What more do you need in life?
I usually have pretty good self control when it comes to making desserts, but this was just too much.
I found myself sneaking into the kitchen to cut off just one more little piece and before I knew it, a huge percentage of the pan was missing.
Every calorie was TOTALLY worth it.
So if you are looking for an amazing Christmas party dessert or just an amazing treat in general, look no further. This is all you need.
