(If you prefer, you can microwave it instead, checking every 25 seconds to prevent burning.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour melted chocolate into baking dish and spread out into a smooth, even layer. Place in the freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a medium mixing bowl, combine marshmallow fluff, \u00bc cup peanut butter, and confectioners\u2019 sugar to create nougat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Remove pan from freezer. Using your hands, push down nougat onto the chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Distribute peanuts evenly on top of the nougat and gently press the peanuts so they are \u201cstuck\u201d in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Attach a candy thermometer to a saucepan so that the end is near the bottom but not resting on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add margarine to the pan and melt over medium-high heat. Add light brown sugar and stir until incorporated and melted. Add corn syrup and coconut milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bring to a boil and continue to cook, stirring constantly until candy thermometer reads 235\u00b0F, the soft-ball stage. (Be patient; this process could take around 15\u201320 minutes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Allow caramel to cool for 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour caramel over nougat and smooth with a spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place pan in the freezer for 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Melt remaining chocolate chips and peanut butter (see above).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pour over caramel and place pan in the fridge until hardened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use a sharp knife to cut into squares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Recipe, styling, and photography by Faigy Reiner These snicker bars with their smooth, creamy, and crunchy layers will quickly become your favorite go-to treat.
