How to make snickers crisper candy bar - video recipe
Hello, and welcome to In the Kitchen with Matt, I am your host Matt Taylor.
There is a new snickers bar on the market, it is called Snickers Crisper, It comes in
this blue packaging like this.
They taste really good; instead of nougat and peanuts it is rice krispies and peanuts,
or like crisped rice with peanuts.
It still has caramel and chocolate; I decided to do a copycat recipe of this, turns out
really similar and super tasty.
Some of my friends actually like it better then the real thing.
Without further ado, let's get started.
For our tools and the ingredients, we have some kitchen spray; we have a 4x8 bread pan,
which I have covered with aluminum foil, I have a cup and a half of milk chocolate light
cocoa candy wafers, I have about 11 or 12 of these caramels, which equals about 3.5
ounces of caramel.
I have 1 tablespoon of milk, 2/3 cup of rice krispies or crisped rice, 1 tablespoon of
butter, 2/3 cup of unsalted peanuts, 1 and a quarter cup of marshmallows, I also have
a cutting board and a sharp knife.
Alternative method, instead of using marshmallows and butter with our crisped rice and peanuts,
you can use 3 tablespoons of corn syrup, it gives it a little bit different of a taste,
but it still tastes really good, so you can use either or, and instead of using melted
chocolate wafers, you can use about 7 ounces of chocolate or milk chocolate so that equals
one big Hershey bar.
Ok so first what we are going to do, is we are going to melt our marshmallows with our
butter.
I am going to do this in the microwave, you can certainly do it on the stove, if you want
to see that method, watch my rice krispies treat video, and you can see how I do it on
the stove.
Alternatively you can skip this step if you are going to use the 3 tablespoons of corn
syrup.
So I am going to melt my butter, I am going to take my butter here, and I am going to
go ahead and melt this in the microwave, on bursts of 30 seconds, stir, 30 seconds, stir,
until it is nice and melted.
Ok once it is melted, we want to work really quickly, we will add our peanuts, and our
crisped rice, and we will mix it all together, again like you are making rice krispies treats.
Just go ahead and mix it all together, and we will take our aluminum foil covered, and
spray it, spray the aluminum foil with your kitchen spray, and we are going to just put
our mixture in there, try to get it all out that you can, and then we will spread it out,
the best that you can.
And then just take a piece of parchment paper, and put it on top and push it down, you can
be pretty firm with this, and just push it in there, so it spreads it all out and it
gets nice and flat on top.
So that is pretty good.
And then what we are going to do is set this in the refrigerator and let it chill for about
20 minutes.
Ok now once you take it out of the fridge, we will go ahead and take off the top of our,
it might stick a little bit, but that is ok.
And now what we are going to do is we are going to take caramel, and our milk.
And we are going to take our milk and add it to our caramel.
And then we are going to melt our caramel in the microwave, on bursts of 30 seconds,
stir, 30 seconds, until it is completely melted and nice and creamy.
And then what we will do is pour it on top of here and spread it out nice and even.
All right our caramel is nice and melted, be careful the bowl will probably be a little
hot, and we are going to go ahead and pour it all in there, and we are going to scrape
the sides as best as we can.
Ok, and then we will go ahead and spread this out nice and even.
The reason why we use milk with the caramel is because once it sets up in the refrigerator
if you don't use milk or cream the caramel gets really really hard.
And it gets more crunchy instead of nice and soft, so this will make it nice and creamy
soft caramel even after being in the refrigerator.
Ok now we want to let this set in the refrigerator and we want it to set up for about an hour.
We need it to completely set up nice and firm for us.
Ok now we are going to melt our chocolate, I am going to melt in the microwave on hi,
in bursts of 30 seconds, so 30 seconds, then stir, 30 seconds, stir, until it is completely
melted.
On to that step.
Ok our chocolate is melted, I took this out of the fridge, and now what we want to do
is just cut it.
So you can just lift it right out, like that, it comes out really easy, and then we will
just peel back our foil, and then we want to place it caramel side up, otherwise the
caramel will stick.
And now we want to cut it, and what I like to do, is I just make this into 8 pieces,
so I will just cut in the middle here, like that, and then what I will do is down the
middle, like that, but you can make them whatever sizes you want.
I also sprayed my knife with kitchen spray, just to make it so it cuts through a little
easier, the caramel can stick sometimes.
Ok and now what we want to do is just go ahead and dip these in the chocolate.
I grabbed a fork, just to help with the process; I have a spoon here as well, um, so go ahead
and take it, and cover it with chocolate, and go under it with your fork and wiggle
it a bit, you drip off the excess, and then place it on parchment paper.
Ok once they are all dipped let's go ahead and put them in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes
so they can set up completely.
All right our snickers crisper candy bars are done.
They look amazing, super easy to make, easy ingredients, if I can make them, you can make
them.
