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.
Even my yoga pants might not fit after an encounter with these…
…I’ll just eat them naked, alone in my room. That’s the solution!
I just did a little calorie analysis on these. Let’s just say, you had better cut them small! if you get 40 bars out of it, each one would have 240 calories. They look awesome, though! Just might be worth the splurge!
Oh my dear goodness. I am in freaking heaven!! Yum!
That’s one hell of a way to go. At least you’d die with a huge grin even if you’re found with your pants lose and a snicker bar in each hand. You can say you’ve lived! LOL.
Definitely deadly! Sounds delicious.
ahah, wow, this is a chocolate and decadent dessert lover’s dream!!
Oh my gosh, these bars look amazing! Any bar that contains 4 sticks of butter and dulce de leche has got to be great! 🙂
Ok, this may sound like a rude comment but I swear it’s not! How do you not weigh several hundred pounds? Seriously! I want to be a baker, but I am scared that if I bake something awesome every day I will gain 30+ pounds, which I don’t want to do. How do you do it? I’ve seen pictures of you here on your blog, and you obviously don’t really struggle with this. Thanks!
hahahaa! oh I absolutely struggle! I’ve been doing it a few years now and all those bites and licks definitely have definitely caught up with me. I taste test everything and then try and give most of it away. I am also the mom of 4 boys, so I am always surrounded my healthy appetites…
AND as much as I loathe the gym, I try to make it there about 3 times a week
Holy Crap!! These bars are insane! I would kill for one right now!
WOW I just gained about 100 lbs just from the photo! Not to mention the butter content. THESE LOOK SO YUMMY!! I wish I lived close I would probably be stocking your home right now. PS What do you use to edit your photos. Your pics always look so good and love the fonts etc. I was using Picnik but of course it is no more so looking for another alternative.
Thank you for sharing!
