Step 1: Gather materials and ingredients
I’m giving these ingredients by both weight and volume where relevant. Weighing is much easier, but if you don’t have a digital kitchen scale yet* the volume measurements will do. Ingredients: 14 oz milk chocolate (about 2 cups chips, or coarsely chopped bar) divided in half 3.5 oz (1/2 cup) butterscotch chips, divided in half 192 g (3/4 cup) creamy peanut butter

Step 2: Cost estimate
Per request from the comments, here’s a rough cost estimate based on my purchase prices. Most of these came from stores near my office in downtown SF, so you can probably do better! Milk Chocolate: 2x$2.50 = $5 Butterscotch chips: $2.50/bag, used 1/4 = $0.63 Peanut butter: $3.50/jar, used Butter: $2.99/lb, used Evap milk: $1.29, used 1/3 = $0.43 Sugar: no idea

Step 3: Prepare pan
Line your pan with waxed paper or plastic wrap, making sure there’s plenty of extra draped over the sides and ends of the pan. This will make it easier (or possible!) to remove the Snickers bars when you’re done.

Step 4: Bottom chocolate layer
Combine 7 oz chocolate, 1.75 oz butterscotch, and 64 g peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl. – Heat in 20-second increments, stirring each time, until all ingredients melt together smoothly. This may take several minutes, but don’t rush the process – burned chocolate means you have to start over! – Pour into your pan, and spread in an even layer. – Stick the pan in

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.

Step 6: Caramel and Peanut Layer
Combine 1/4 cup evaporated milk, 1.5 Tablespoons butter, and pound of caramels in the (cleaned) small pot. – Heat on low, stirring frequently, until the caramels have melted into the milk and butter. Be careful not to burn the caramel – it can stick if you’re not careful! (I toasted mine slightly, which turned out to be just fine.

Step 7: Top chocolate layer
Melt 7 oz milk chocolate, 1.75 oz butterscotch chips, and 64g peanut butter as described in Step 3. – Pour into your pan, and spread in an even layer on top of the caramel. – Stick the pan back in the freezer to set.

Step 8: Chop into bars
Remove pan from the freezer, and lift up the waxed paper or plastic to remove the frozen block of tasty treats. – Deposit your block on a cutting board. – Use a sharp, heavy kitchen knife to cut the rough edges offf your block, making the edges nice and square and tidy. (Yes, eating the detritus is absolutely required.) – Cut strips across your block. These should b?

Step 9: Dip edges (optional)
This step doesn’t really change the flavor, but will cover the cut edges and make your candy bars look properly finished. – Melt 7 oz milk chocolate, 1.75 oz butterscotch chips, and 64g peanut butter as described in Step 3. – Grab a square (or rectangle) of candy bar block, and dip each edge in the melted chocolate mixture. – If you want to get really fancy, drizzle ?

Step 10: Store and Serve
Your Snickers bars will keep for quite a while if frozen – just layer them between waxed paper in a sealed plastic container. Beware storing them at room temperature too long, especially during the summer, as the chocolate has a rather low melting temperature. But don’t worry, these won’t last long! The hard part is not eating the whole pan yourself. Serve frozen.

Another Alternative:

They are super sweet, heavy and rich. But if you dare to try them yourself, here is the recipe we also used.

Fake Snickers Bars
2 cups milk chocolate Chips, divided
½ cup of butterscotch chips, divided

Step 1: Line the baking pan with the waxed, this will make it easy to remove the candy bars after they are made.

Step 2: In a double boiler over medium heat stir together 1 cup of chocolate chips, ¼ cup of butterscotch and a ¼ cup of peanut butter. Stir constantly until smooth. Spread the melted chocolate mixture into your pan. Make an even layer, put your pan in you freezer.

Step 3: To make the nougat, combine 4 Tablespoons of butter, Sugar and ¼ cup of evaporated milk over low heat in a heavy saucepan. Stir as needed, once the mixture bubbles remove from the heat. Stir in ¼ cup of peanut butter marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly then pour nougat over cooled bottom chocolate layer, spread even and return to the freezer.

Step 4: For the caramel layer. Stir ¼ cup of evaporated milk, the caramels and 1½ tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Add peanuts and pour over the cooled nougat, spread even and return to the freezer. For the top layer, repeat the steps for making the bottom layer. In a double boiler over medium heat stir together 1 cup of chocolate chips, ¼ cup of butterscotch and a ¼ cup of peanut butter. Stir constantly until smooth and pour over the carmel layer.

Step 5: Put the pan in the refrigerator for 2 hours to set. Remove pan from the freezer, and lift up the waxed.

Covering 20 acres and stretching half a mile, the swimming hole at Chile’s San Alfonso del Mar resort is a 115-foot-deep, 66-milliongallon monster. (An Olympic-size pool is “only” 164 feet long, 6 feet 7 inches deep, 660,000 gallons.) Built for $3.5 million by the Chilean firm Crystal Lagoons, which aims to open an even vaster version in the Egyptian desert, the pool has delighted resort guests and curiosity seekers since 2007.

NEW YORK (UPI) – The health of employed U.S. workers is trending downward and one in three experiences one or more symptoms of clinical depression, researchers say.

A report by the Families and Work Institute also says 28 percent of employees report that their overall health is “excellent,” down from 34 percent six years ago.

The report also reveals:

• 41 percent of employees report experiencing three or more indicators of stress sometimes, often or very often.
• One in five employees has trouble falling asleep very often or fairly often, and 31 percent awaken too early and have trouble falling back to sleep.
• 21 percent are treated for high blood pressure and 14 percent are treated for high cholesterol.

The report says 49 percent of U.S. employees have not engaged in regular physical exercise in the last 30 days, including 22 percent not engaging in any rigorous physical exercise. One in four U.S. workers smokes.

Having paid vacations bode well for personal health and well-being, as well as intent to stay in one’s job, the study says.

The study used data from the National Study of the Changing Workforce, which surveys the U.S. workforce every five years. Sample sizes average about 3,500, including wage and salaried employees, as well as self-employed workers.
