Decadent No-Bake Snickers Oatmeal Bars

Ingredients

- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 cups quick oats
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 Snickers candy bars, chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by gathering all the ingredients at your workspace. Chop the Snickers candy bars into small pieces and set them aside.

2. Cook the Base Mixture
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup cocoa powder. Place the saucepan over medium heat.

3. Bring to Boil
Stir the mixture continuously until the butter and sugar are fully dissolved. Increase the heat slightly and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Allow it to boil continuously for 1 minute, while stirring, to ensure proper caramelization.

4. Adding the Oats and Vanilla
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add 3 cups of quick oats and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the molten mixture. Stir thoroughly until the oats are completely coated and well combined.

5. Incorporate Snickers Chunks
Fold in the chopped Snickers bars, ensuring that they are evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture.

6. Shape and Set
Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Press down lightly to compact the mixture, ensuring an even surface.

7. Chill the Bars
Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then transfer the dish to the refrigerator to chill and set completely for at least 1 hour.

8. Cut and Serve
Once the mixture is firm, remove it from the refrigerator. Lift the parchment paper to remove the entire slab from the dish. Cut into 16 bars using a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
