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. My. Gosh.
These look incredible. Really incredible.
Pinning NOW!
I completely believe these would undo all those bumps-on-the-road from the day… COMPLETELY.
Snickers are my favorite!
So by 8 Snicker bars, do you mean 8 for the recipe of 7 plus an extra to eat while you wait for these bay boys to cool off and set up? Why oh WHY did you post this recipe when I’m trying to drop 10 lbs in 6 weeks?!?!?! Gee. Thanks. 🙂
Holy wow! They look and sound amaaaazing. Too bad it seems like a very expensive recipe! A whole box of butter + 8 Snickers bars + the dulce = around $10? I guess not that bad, but compared to most recipes when everythings on hand! Mmmm sounds sooo good though
I might have to just completely take my pants off for these bad boys.
What? That’s not weird at all.
Thanks for linking to me! 🙂
Wow…just wow! These look soooooooo good! I applaud your use of butter – people are too scared of it these days in my opinion. Can’t wait to make these!
I concur – wow and wow and applause all around!
If I didn’t need to undo before, I surely do now. Definitely “clipping” this recipe. When I get fat I’m going to blame you. 😀
my pants are groaning already and I think I may switch to elastic waste bands from now on.
An innocent 4 sticks of butter? I love it. I want to make these with the peanut butter Snickers.
This is hilarious Shelly! That’s the way I want to go….death by snickers bars. Yes, please! 😉
