This recipe for homemade snicker cups is truly delightful. Making your own homemade chocolates is a lot simpler than you think!
My husband is a chocoholic. He’ll tell you he can go without it, but I have my doubts. He’s been enjoying all of the baked goods I’ve been making, but he prefers proper chocolates rather than cookies or cakes. I made these especially for him.
It was my first attempt at candy making and I thought I’d have to have a few more attempts before perfecting the recipe enough to post, but they came out amazing!
Needless to say, my husband was a very happy man! I know snickers are milk chocolate, but I don’t make anything with milk chocolate I only use dark chocolate. If you prefer milk chocolate, feel free to use it instead.
