2. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups graham cracker crumbs with 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Finally, these bars deliver a perfect textural symphony—creamy cheesecake gives way to crunchy peanuts and ribbons of caramel in every bite. For an over-the-top presentation, serve them slightly chilled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and an extra drizzle of warm caramel sauce.

Snickers Chocolate Chip Cookies

Snickers Chocolate Chip Cookies
Whip up the ultimate mashup: soft-baked chocolate chip cookies stuffed with chopped Snickers bars. This recipe delivers chewy centers, crispy edges, and pockets of caramel-peanut-chocolate goodness in every bite—no mixer required, just one bowl and 30 minutes to cookie bliss.

Serving: 24 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup packed light brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
– 4 Snickers bars (1.86 oz each), chopped into 1/2-inch pieces

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar; use a wooden spoon to cream them together until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
3. Crack the eggs into the bowl and add the vanilla extract; stir vigorously until fully incorporated and the mixture is pale.
4. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt directly into the bowl; fold gently with a spatula until just combined—overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Snickers pieces until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough, roll into balls, and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets; flatten each ball slightly with your palm for even baking.
7. Bake one sheet at a time in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers still look slightly soft—they’ll firm up as they cool.
8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Get ready for a texture explosion: crispy edges give way to chewy middles studded with melty chocolate and gooey Snickers bits. Serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an over-the-top sundae cookie, or stash a few in the freezer for a sweet, frozen treat.

5. Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract until just incorporated.
6. Sift 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and ½ tsp salt directly into the wet ingredients to prevent lumps.
7. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until no flour streaks remain; avoid overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
8. Fold in 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips and the chopped Snickers bars, reserving a small handful of each for topping.

4. In a separate bowl, combine 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/3 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
5. Beat the cream cheese mixture on medium speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain.
7. Spoon a layer of the mousse mixture into the bottom of six serving glasses.
8. Drizzle 1 tsp of caramel sauce over the mousse in each glass.
9. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of chopped salted peanuts over the caramel.
10. Add another layer of mousse mixture on top.
11. Drizzle 1 tsp of chocolate sauce over the second mousse layer.
12. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of chopped Snickers bars over the chocolate.
13. Repeat the layering process once more, ending with a final sprinkle of chopped Snickers and a drizzle of both sauces.
14. Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set.
Ultimate creamy, crunchy, and gooey perfection. The mousse stays light against the salty peanuts and rich caramel, while the Snickers pieces add that iconic chew. Serve it straight from the fridge or with an extra drizzle of warm sauce for a next-level sundae vibe.
