Homemade Snickers Bars!!
Image result for homemade snickers bars
     Try these homemade snickers bars one time, and you will be in love! These are so yummy and so easy to make. Don’t let the instructions scare you away- there are several steps but they’re simple to do and an entire tray of homemade snickers bars comes together in less than 30 minutes. Here's what you'll need:

  • 2 cups chocolate chips (divided into two 1 cup portions)
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter (divided into three 1/4 cup portions)
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk or heavy whipping cream (divided into two 1/4 cup portions)
  • 7 oz tub marshmallow cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups salted peanuts
  • 1 bag caramels (11 oz)
   Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper. Make space in your freezer for the pan. You will be putting it in the freezer and pulling it back out several times. Bottom layer: Melt 1 cup chocolate chips + 1/4 cup peanut butter in the microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds. Stir until smooth, then spread on the bottom of the pan. Put pan in freezer. Nougat layer: Put butter, sugar and 1/4 cup evaporated milk in a small saucepan. Begin heating on medium heat, stirring occasionally as the butter melts and the mixture combines. Measure out 1/4 cup peanut butter and set aside. Continue heating mixture. When it comes to a boil, set timer for 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup peanut butter, the marshmallow cream and the vanilla. Stir until smooth. Take pan out of freezer and pour nougat on top of chilled chocolate. Smooth over chocolate until layer is even. Return to freezer.
Caramel layer: Melt caramels + 1/4 cup evaporated milk in the microwave for 1 minute, adding 30 second increments as needed until caramels melt and mixture is combined.
Take pan out of freezer. Measure out 1 1/2 cups salted peanuts and pour evenly over the top. Use clean hands to gently press peanuts into nougat. Pour caramel mixture over the top of the peanuts. Return pan to freezer. Top layer: Melt 1 cup chocolate chips + 1/4 cup peanut butter in the microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds. Stir until smooth, then spread on top of the caramel, until even. Return pan to freezer for about 20 minutes. Cut into squares while bars are still cold. (this makes cutting nice and even!) Bars need to be stored in the fridge, but will still maintain their shape even when left out for a couple hours. They do get soft though, which is why I prefer to store them in the fridge.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken!!

Parmesan Crusted Chicken!      This is one of my all-time favorite dishes to make! It is super easy for when you're having people over, or if you're just making dinner for one. This dish is so delicious and so easy to make. It only takes about 5-10 minutes to make and about 20 minutes to bake. My mom used to make this for my siblings and I, and we always loved it! Now most of the time when she asks me what I want for dinner, my answer is Parmesan Crusted Chicken, of course! Pair this with some steamed fresh green beans, and you've got the perfect dinner. Here's what you'll need: 1/2 cup Real Mayonnaise (I prefer Hellman's) 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese  2 whole boneless skinless chicken breast 4 teaspoons Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs      Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
