We also added some coconut oil to this mix; we planned to freeze these treats who doesn\u2019t love a frozen candy bar?\u2014and coconut oil becomes solid at cold temperatures, resulting in a firm base layer with a nice snap. For the easiest-ever peanut butter\u2013nougat filling, we melted peanut butter and butter together and then folded in marshmallow cr\u00e8me before mixing in more peanuts. We spread this plush confection in a thick, even layer over the chocolate base. To finish these candies, we settled on a decorative flourish of caramel and chocolate. Stirring a little heavy cream into melted store-bought soft caramels gave them just the right consistency for drizzling. Start with 1 tablespoon and add the second tablespoon if needed. With a chocolaty base; a soft, chewy, crunchy center; and a sweet topping, we may never go for a store-bought candy bar again. These bars are best served straight from the freezer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These salty-sweet treats are reminiscent of Snickers bars although we think they\u2019re even better, and prettier to boot.
