This dazzling treat tastes like a Snickers bar but has homemade flavor beyond compare. When I entered it in a recipe contest at our harvest festival, it won five ribbons, including grand prize and the judges' special award. -Jane Meek, Pahrump, Nevada

I have made this recipe several times. It is delicious and reminds me of one of my favorite candy bars. A hint for those who are having problems with the chocolate topping cracking when trying to cut into squares. Take the pan from the refrigerator and let it sit on your counter until the chocolate warms up a little. The caramel will also soften some and be easier to cut. It is a winner!

This took time to make but the results are amazing. Everyone who has tried it has loved it and I have passed the recipe on to many friends and co-workers. I kept it refrigerated.

I made this recipe a few days ago for the first time after reading all the rave reviews, and found it to be awesomely good! However, like some of the other reviews, I too had a problem with the top icing layer cracking and breaking to pieces when I cut it, and it didn't stick to the caramel layer under it. I was dissapointed by that happening and wondered if anyone has a solution to keeping the top icing layer from breaking into many pieces and not sticking to the caramel layer? I followed the directions completely and also followed what the reviewer, spoir10692 wrote on December 22, 2010 to keep the top icing layer from spliting/cracking, and it still didn't work. I also had a problem of cutting it into nice square pieces since the caramel layer was hard to cut through and it came out in jagged edges. It didn't look like the evenly cut pieces in the picture at all and I found it took me a long time to made it. Well, after all this, I still will keep trying to make this turn out right since it was SO delicious and adictive!

This was a huge hit at both parties I took them to this year. Easy to make, although they take time because of the need to let them harden between layers. Had no problems with the icing cracking or the caramel running. We kept them in the refrigerator or freezer until about a half an hour before serving. To store, I buttered the bottom of a pyrex container lightly, made one layer with the candies, then put parchment paper down and made another layer on top. Between chilling them and the parchment paper, it kept them from sticking together too much.

I give it 5 stars for sure. Everyone loved these candies. I had a problem with the carmel running though. Any tips?

This was great and it makes alot. Alittle pricy to make but worth it. It will become one of my Christmas candy favs.

This recipe is going to become a regular to make during the holidays....yummy! I figured I would be creative and made it in individual paper cups. This was NOT a good way to go. While it taste just as good, it took a lot of extra time. Save yourself the headache and simply make it in a 9X13 pan as the recipe calls for. After cutting them into squares they can easily be placed in mini paper cups for easy serving so they don't stick together. The nougat filling is to die for all by itself! I'm trying to think of a new candy to make that incorporates that alone. Thanks for submitting this recipe. All that tried it LOVED it!

My Husband LOVES Snickers. So I decided to give this a try... Needless to say the whole family loves this! Even my sister in law who doesn't like chocolate was coming back for more! Great Recipe!
