Death by Snickers Bars

Death by Snickers bars stacked on a red napkin

What’s the food that you eat to completely undo it?

And by undo it I mean, UNDOOOOO it.

Undo your brain, undo your diet…just undo it.

Well, listen here, friends.

I have made you some bars that will not only undo your day’s problems, they will also help you undo your jean’s top button…and maybe a little zipper too.

I don’t mean that in a sexy-time way, either.  These bars are that major.

They’re an end of the day, cleansing breath, getting comfy, eat with two hands, kind of a bar.

Sometimes you have to go for it.

Death by Snickers Bars.

Three death by Snickers bars on a red cloth


So let’s begin.

Four sticks of butter in a mixing bowl
Butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl
Wrapped Snickers bars on a cutting board with a knife
Chopped Snickers bars on a cutting board
Batter in a foil-lined baking pan
Globs of dulce de leche over batter in a baking pan
Caramel being swirled into batter in a baking pan
Bar cookies with caramel swirl
Squares of Death by Snickers bars on a red cloth

Don’t be alarmed by the amount of butter. It’s just an innocent 4 sticks.
Or the amount of brown sugar. Just 3 cups.
You’re making caramel bars here people. Get over it.
You’ll need some Snickers bars.
Then you’ll need to chop them up. Trust me, they’re cool with it.
Mix up all your ingredients and spread it evenly in your prepared pan. Make sure to leave a little overhang of foil at the end. It will help when it’s time to cut and remove.
Next take that glorious can of dulce de leche. I found mine down the Mexican food aisle of the super market…if you can’t find that in your store, no worries…make your own! Yes, you can. Here’s a great how-to for making your own dulce de leche.
Plop the dulce de leche all over the top of your batter…
And swirl it all in.
Then bake it up.
You have to let these bars have some downtime after they’re done. I like to make them the night before, because they take quite a bit of time to set up and cool. If you can’t wait overnight, give them at least 3 hours.
Here’s how they’ll look…
That’s it. Cut them, eat them and loosen that belt.

  1. You just made my four boys very happy….well, okay, I have to count the hubby, my FIVE boys 🙂 Thank you.

  2. Sorry for my lack of common sense, but could anyone possibly guide me on the amount of snickers to use? I live in the UK, so our bars are measured in grams. Is it 2.7oz of snickers altogether or 8 x 2.7oz? I can’t wait to make these!!

  3. This is a great recipe! Thank you for posting it! I have made this twice, the first time following this recipe, the second with minor changes. The second time, I chose to use Snickers with almonds to dress it up a bit. I didn’t have any luck finding the dulce de leche the second time (I live in Texas, but was visiting Virginia the second time), but I was able to find Cajeta, which is a Mexican caramel sauce, and I think I liked it better, as it was more “chewy”. Finally, I baked off a graham cracker-walnut crust in the foil, prior to adding the batter and Cajeta. Before swirling the Cajeta, I generously sprinkled on Baker’s Cocoanut over half, as not all of my family members like cocoanut. For serving, I warmed the bars slightly in the microwave, to soften them, then topped them with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream, drizzled on some Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup, then sprinkled on some of the graham cracker-walnut crust, that was left in the pan. Pure Decadence!

    1. I forgot one other thing… Just before putting it into the oven, I sprinkled the top with Kosher Salt.

  4. This is a great site! Thanks for posting so many awesome recipes! Dangerous stuff here for sure, but what’s life without a little danger?!
