Snickers Snack Cup Ingredients
12 oz. Milk Chocolate Chips
1 Cup Caramel Bits *you can also use Kraft Caramels
1 Tbsp. Water
½ Cup Roasted Salted Peanuts, chopped
12 Muffin liners
How to make homemade Snickers Snack Cups
Place muffin liners into a muffin tin.
In a microwave safe bowl melt the chocolate chips on high in 30 second increments, stirring after each increment, until smooth.
Spoon about 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate into the bottom of each muffin liner.
In a separate microwave safe bowl melt the caramel bits and water in 30 second increments, stirring after each increment, until smooth. Stir in the chopped peanuts.
Spoon about a tablespoon of the caramel mixture into each cup.
If needed, reheat the chocolate to melt and spoon enough to cover the caramel and peanuts, about 2 teaspoons to a tablespoon.
Let cool and set. If they don’t firm up place in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
This copycat recipe is one of our favorites and perfect when you need a yummy little pick me up treat that also works great as a gift for just about any event.
These also freeze nicely and quite often I will stick them in the freezer in a ziplock bag before we go camping, and grab them and put them in the cooler right before we head out!
