No-Bake Snickers Crunch Bars

1. In a separate bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and salt until smooth and spreadable.
2. Spread the peanut mixture evenly over the chilled cookie base. Return the pan to the refrigerator.

Step 3: Drizzle the Caramel

1. Warm the caramel sauce slightly (if needed) to make it easier to drizzle. Spoon the caramel over the peanut layer and use a knife or spatula to gently swirl it for a marbled effect.
2. Chill the pan again while you prepare the chocolate topping.

Step 4: Make the Chocolate Topping

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and glossy.
2. Pour the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer, spreading it with a spatula to fully cover the top.

Step 5: Add Toppings & Chill

1. Sprinkle chopped peanuts or flaky sea salt over the chocolate layer for added texture and flavor.
2. Chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 2–3 hours , or until the chocolate is set.

Step 6: Slice & Serve

1. Use the parchment or foil overhang to lift the bars from the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Why This Recipe Works

• Layered Texture Magic : Each layer adds a unique element—crunchy, creamy, chewy, and chocolatey.
• No-Bake Convenience : Minimal effort and no special equipment needed.
• Peanut Butter Perfection : The creamy peanut layer ties everything together with rich, nutty flavor.

Variations to Try

• • Nut-Free Option : Swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter and omit peanuts for a nut-free version.

• • Dark Chocolate Twist : Use dark chocolate chips for a more intense chocolate flavor.
  • White Chocolate Drizzle : Swirl melted white chocolate over the top for a decorative touch.

• • Gluten-Free Option : Use gluten-free graham crackers or crushed cookies for the base.

• Add-ins : Stir mini chocolate chips, pretzel pieces, or crushed nougat into the peanut layer for extra crunch.

Tips for Success

• • Press Firmly : Ensure the cookie base is pressed tightly to prevent crumbling.

• • Chill Between Layers : Chilling helps each layer set properly before adding the next.

• Storage : Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days; let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• • Romantic Touch : Arrange the bars on a platter with edible flowers or sprinkles for elegance.

• Brunch Staple : Pair with coffee or tea for a sweet brunch treat.
• Party Platter : Serve alongside other desserts like brownies, cookies, or truffles for variety.
