Storage and Reheating Tips

Store your Snickers Fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. For longer storage, wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. To serve, let the fudge sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. Avoid microwaving, as it can cause the layers to separate.

Serving Suggestions

This rich and decadent fudge is perfect for sharing! Serve it as a dessert at parties, package it in cute boxes for gifts, or enjoy it as a sweet treat with coffee or tea. For an extra touch, drizzle melted chocolate or caramel over the top before serving, or sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for a sweet-and-salty twist.

Recipe Variations

Customize your Snickers Fudge to suit your taste! Swap milk chocolate chips for dark or semi-sweet chocolate for a richer flavor. Use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy for added texture, or replace the peanuts with almonds or pecans. For a nut-free version, omit the peanuts and add crushed pretzels or graham crackers for a salty crunch.

Time-Saving Tips

To speed up the process, use pre-chopped peanuts and pre-unwrapped caramels. You can also prepare the layers in advance: make the chocolate and caramel layers ahead of time, store them in the fridge, and assemble the fudge when ready. If you’re short on time, skip the freezer steps and let each layer set in the fridge for 20-30 minutes instead.

Equipment Guidance

For best results, use a 9×13 glass pan for even cooling and easy removal. A silicone spatula is ideal for spreading each layer smoothly, and a microwave-safe bowl will make melting the chocolate and peanut butter a breeze. If you don’t have a microwave, melt the chocolate and peanut butter in a double boiler on the stovetop.
