HOMEMADE PAYDAY CANDY BARS



Homemade Payday Candy Bars image

This is one of the EASIEST homemade copycat candy recipes out there. The prep is the longest part because you have to remove all of the wrappers from a 14 oz. bag of caramels, but if you have an 8 year old "sous chef," he can be unwrapping while you're chopping peanuts & measuring marshmallows, and your prep & cooking times will...

Provided by Fran Miller

Categories     Candies

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/2 c peanuts, chopped after measuring; divided
14 oz bag of caramels, unwrapped
2 Tbsp water
1 c mini marshmallows

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare an 8" square pan by misting it with cooking spray, lining it with parchment paper (extending over 1 inch on all sides), then misting the parchment paper with cooking spray.
  • 2. Chop up half of the peanuts and spread over the bottom of the prepared pan. Chop up the rest of the peanuts & set aside for later.
  • 3. In a medium pan, melt the unwrapped caramels, water, and mini marshmallows together over LOW-MEDIUM heat, stirring constantly off the bottom to keep the caramels from scorching. This will take about 8 minutes, so you might want to check out your newest cookbook or a few pages of Dogzilla with your sous chef...
  • 4. ...until the caramel mixture looks like this.
  • 5. Pour the melted caramel mixture over the chopped nuts...
  • 6. ...and smooth out.
  • 7. Top with the rest of the nuts, pressing them firmly into the caramel mixture like this. (If you use your fingers, just don't touch the hot caramel mixture! Don't ask me how I know this.)
  • 8. It should look like this when you're done. Set aside for about 2 hours to cool.
  • 9. Remove the candy from the pan, using the edges of the parchment paper.
  • 10. Cut into bars or pieces with a really sharp knife.
  • 11. Store in an airtight container, IF you have any leftovers after you share with your sous chef & any other kitchen helpers who wander in. =^..^=

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Follow the recipe carefully. Don't skip any steps or substitute ingredients unless you know what you're doing.
  • Be patient. Making candy takes time and patience. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a sticky mess.
  • Use a candy thermometer. This is the best way to ensure that the candy reaches the correct temperature.
  • Store the candy properly. Once the candy is made, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Conclusion:

Making Payday candy bars at home is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little time and effort, you can create delicious candy bars that are perfect for snacking, sharing, or gifting.
