Several years ago, Mars Wrigley released a new Snickers Bar called a Snickers Crisper. It was basically a square version of Snickers but also included Rice Krispies/crisp rice. So if a Snickers bar and a Rice Krispies treat had a baby it would be a Snickers Crisper bar!
This Snickers Crisper copycat recipe is awesome and I think it tastes better than the real thing. I even polled a few of my friends and they agreed.
It is so easy to make using just a handful of easy-to-find ingredients. If I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get started!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of chocolate Light candy cocoa melts, chocolate chips, or chocolate bar (about 260 g)
- 1 1/4 cups Mini Marshmallows about 60 g
- 1 tbsp of butter 14 g
- 2/3 cup of Rice Krispies Toasted Rice Cereal crisped rice (15 g)
- 2/3 cup unsalted peanuts 94 g
- 3.5 ounces of caramels about 12 individually wrapped ones 100 g
- 1 tbsp. milk or cream 14ml
Instructions
Take the butter and add it to the marshmallows. Then melt them together. You can melt them in a pot on the stove or in the microwave. If using the microwave, start with about 15 to 20 seconds then stir, then repeat until nice and melted.
Now stir in the peanuts and Rice Krispies/crisped rice. Work fairly quickly because it cools down quickly and gets harder to spread.
Add the marshmallow mixture to a bread loaf pan lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. If using foil make sure to spray it with cooking spray. Spread it out so it is even on the bottom of the pan. Place a small piece of parchment paper on top and press down firmly packing it down. Then put the pan in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
Take the pan out of the fridge and remove the top piece of parchment paper. Add the milk/cream to the caramels and melt them in the microwave with bursts of 25 seconds and stirring in between. Or melt them in a pot on the stovetop with medium-low heat.
Pour the melted caramel over the pan of marshmallow mixture and spread it out evenly with a spoon. Place the pan back in the fridge for about an hour, so the caramel can set.
Once the caramel sets, melt the chocolate in the microwave using bursts of 25 seconds and stirring or use the double boiler method.
Pull the candy bar base out of the pan and remove the foil/parchment paper. Cut it into 8 equal squares with a knife. Spray the knife with cooking spray to prevent the caramel from sticking to it.
Now dip each candy bar square completely in melted chocolate. Place it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Once you are done dipping the candy bars, put the pan in the fridge for about 30 minutes so the chocolate can be fully set.
Then eat them! Enjoy.
