Homemade Snicker Cups

This recipe for homemade snicker cups is truly delightful. Making your own homemade chocolates is a lot simpler than you think!

My husband is a chocoholic.  He’ll tell you he can go without it, but I have my doubts.  He’s been enjoying all of the baked goods I’ve been making, but he prefers proper chocolates rather than cookies or cakes.  I made these especially for him.

It was my first attempt at candy making and I thought I’d have to have a few more attempts before perfecting the recipe enough to post, but they came out amazing!

Needless to say, my husband was a very happy man! I know snickers are milk chocolate, but I don’t make anything with milk chocolate I only use dark chocolate.  If you prefer milk chocolate, feel free to use it instead.

If you love these, give my Homemade Coconut Mounds Cups and Chocolate Hazelnut Truffle cups a try.

To make these, I used 2-inch silicone liners. You can get them on Amazon here (#paidlink)

Please note that this recipe includes Golden Syrup which is common in English baking and I’ve fallen in love with it since moving here.  I think it adds an extra depth of flavor.  I know it can be hard to find in the US, so you can buy it on Amazon by clicking here.
