Homemade Snickers Candy Bar Recipe

Step 5 Nougat Layer

- Combine 4 Tbsp butter, 1 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup evaporated milk in small heavy-bottomed pot.
- Heat on low until the mixture melts, mixes, and starts to bubble.  Stir as necessary.
- Remove from heat, and add 1 teaspoon vanilla, 64 g peanut butter, and 1.5 cups marshmallow fluff.
- Stir until all ingredients are melted and smoothly combined, then let it cool slightly.
- Pour into your pan on top of the chocolate, and spread in an even layer.
- Stick the pan back into the freezer to set.

Note: I accidentally (don't ask) added the peanuts into the nougat layer, which is not the canonical Snickers format and breaks up the nougat's mouth feel.  While you can do it as pictured, I recommend following my written instructions for better results.

Be sure to remove the boiling mixture from the heat BEFORE adding the marshmallow creme or it will never set. You will get the result you want this way.

 I made this one following the instructions (i believe), but the nougat layer never solidified and remained pretty liquid (honey consistency) even after freezing.

Any ideas why could that be?

Not sure.  The marshmallow fluff is the structural component in the nougat - maybe you didn't use enough?  Measuring this stuff can be a bit challenging, since it sticks to anything - I'd just add a bit extra if you don't find it setting up properly.  Mine was quite sticky even in the pan.

This is the first time you mention marshmallow fluff?  I assume this is marshmallow creme? You didn't show any pictures of it nor is it in the cost estimate?? Can you clairfy?
