Homemade Snickers Snack Cups Recipe
Looking for a Snickers recipe? Who needs store bought Snickers when you can make your own!?
This homemade Snickers Snack Cup recipe is so easy (just a few ingredients) and a great way to make a sweet treat at home.
It’s so easy that my kids make this one on their own and because all of the heating is done with the microwave, it’s the perfect recipe for your bakers to learn with.
We love this Snickers recipe for making seasonal gifts, it’s great for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and also makes a nice treat to go on a Christmas platter.
And let’s face it, who doesn’t love Snickers? This is also a really great treat to make for sporting events, hiking or camping because these Snickers cups offer a nice little burst of protein.
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!

Trina Pixley-Lewissays
Where is the nougat ??
Rachel Israelsays
Do you use mini cup cake holders or regular sized?
Melsays
I would think adding a tiny bit of evaporated milk to the caramel bits would make it taste creamer and fresher.Not too much though.You don't want it runny!
I have never seen the Caramel Bits before. I would probably try to eat them right out of the bag before I could get the dessert made. Look so yummy! Thanks for sharing at #HomeMattersParty
You had me at Snickers. These look amazingly delicious.
Howardsays
I add a small pinch of coconut to each one
I make for a slightly different taste.
You can use crushed walnuts like I do.
Just use our own taste buds an create for you.
