Snickers Fudge has all the elements of the classic candy bar: think thick layers of chocolate fudge, gooey caramel, salty peanuts, and plush nougat. All of the flavors and textures work wonderfully well together. Because of all the layers, this fudge takes a little time and planning, but the final result is delicious and totally worth it.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO GET A CLEAN CUT OF FUDGE WITH THIS RECIPE?
This fudge recipe is extremely messy, if you do not let it set up. The caramel can ooze out the sides when you try and cut it, if it is not fully set up.
We recommend letting it cool completely, or set up in the fridge, until the caramel hardens.
After it has hardened, place a sharp knife under hot water. Slice the fudge with the hot knife. You may need to run it under hot water every few cuts, to help it cut through smoothly, every time.
I then use a small spatula or fork, to pry out each square of fudge.
