Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science)
The combo of condensed milk and whole milk gives it that creamy, velvety base. Chocolate and caramel dissolve into the warm milk, creating deep flavor without separating. The roasted peanuts infuse a nutty richness, while vanilla brings it all together. A pinch of salt boosts the sweetness and balances the flavors—like in a real Snickers bar.
Common Mistakes
- Overheating the milk – Can scorch or curdle. Keep it low and slow.
- Adding peanuts too early – Add at the end to avoid bitterness.
- Using watery milk – Stick to whole milk or half-and-half for richness.
- Skipping the salt – It may seem small, but it really makes the flavors pop.
What to Serve With
- Hot coffee or cold brew
- Drizzled over vanilla ice cream
- In a milkshake
- Poured into hot cocoa
- Swirled into oatmeal
