      Title: Mars Snicker Bar
 Categories: Candy, Chocolate, Nuts, Bars
      Yield: 36 servings
 
    1/4 c  Water; +1 tb
    1/4 c  Light corn syrup
      2 tb Butter
      1 ts Vanilla extract
      2 tb Peanut butter
      1 ds Salt
     35    Unwrapped Kraft caramels
      1 c  Dry roast unsalted peanuts
    24 oz  Milk chocolate chips
      3 c  Powdered sugar
 
  With the mixer on high speed, combine 1 tablespoon water, corn
  syrup, butter, vanilla, peanut butter, and salt until creamy.
  Slowly add the powdered sugar.
  
  When the mixture has the consistency of dough, remove it from the
  bowl with your hands and press it into a lightly greased 9x9" pan.
  Set in the refrigerator.
  
  Melt the caramels in a small pan with 1/4 cup water over low heat.
  When the caramel is soft, mix in the peanuts.  Pour the mixture
  over the refrigerated nougat in the pan. Let this cool in the
  refrigerator.
  
  When the refrigerated mixture is FIRM, melt the chocolate over low
  heat in a double boiler or in a microwave oven set on high for 2
  minutes. Stir halfway through cooking time.
  
  When the mixture in the pan has hardened, cut it into 2x1"
  sections. Set each chunk onto a fork and dip into the melted
  chocolate. Tap the fork against the side of the bowl or pan to
  knock off any excess chocolate. Then place the chunks on waxed
  paper to cool at room temperature (less than 70°F). This could take
  several hours, but the bars will set best this way. You can speed
  up the process by placing the bars in the refrigerator for
  30 minutes.
