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.
So let’s begin.
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.

Notes
Bars may still appear slightly loose in the center. Don’t overcook.
These bars are best if made the night before. They take quite a bit of time to set up.
Oh maw gawsh. Nuff said.
Just four innocent sticks… ha!
Omg. That shot of the dulce de leche. The butter, what’s a pound or two. Those diced Snickers. I’ll put this on my fatfree desserts recipe pinboard 🙂
I need to try these ASAP.
I think I would need to take these somewhere though.
Because I don’t think I can be in the same room with them for more than 1 minute!
Wow, you aren’t messing around here. Love it!
I haven’t been reading your blog for very long but I think it’s safe to assume you’ve lost your ever-loving mind! Holy Butter Batman!
These look insanely delicious. Then again, how can it not be with four sticks of butter?
Love at first site, that’s what these bars are to me, holy-moly!
I think I’ll just wear my stretchy pants while I eat these so that I don’t have to go through the button-popping guilt 🙂
Can you make this with a regular hand electric mixer? I don’t have a good standing one yet..
It’s a very thick batter, so I wouldn’t want you to burn out the motor, but you could certainly use a wooden spoon and some elbow grease 🙂 Just make sure your butter is completely room temperature.
