Homemade Big Hunk Candy Bars image

These soft and chewy Big Hunks are better than the store bought and so easy to make!

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 7

16 ounces peanuts (I used lightly salted)
3 (7 ounce) jars Kraft Marshmallow Creme
2 1/4 cups light corn syrup
2 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
6 Tablespoons butter (slightly melted)
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Grease a large cookie sheet with butter or shortening. Then spread the peanuts all over the greased cookie sheet.
  • In a large mixing bowl put the marshmallow creme, and then set aside.
  • In a large saucepan combine the corn syrup and sugar over medium high heat and stir constantly using a wooden spoon until it comes to a boil. Clip the candy thermometer on the side of the pan and heat it to 290 degrees F (soft crack stage). Do Not Stir During The Time It Reaches 290 degrees! (Trust me on this - do not stir while it's reaching the 290 degrees)
  • Then remove from heat and let stand for 2 minutes (do not stir during this time - let it set undisturbed).
  • Without scraping sides of the pan, pour into the marshmallow cream bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Then add in the butter, vanilla, and salt and stir with wooden spoon until the butter is incorporated.
  • Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly over the peanuts.
  • Let it set at room temperature until set, about 3 hours. You can put it in the fridge to set up faster. You can cut them up and wrap in waxed paper. After cutting them in squares we turned them upside down so you could see the side with the peanuts.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these candy bars turned out terrible. I won't be making them again.

These candy bars were a waste of time and ingredients. They didn't taste good and they didn't set up properly.

The candy bars didn't set up properly. I think I might have added too much milk.

I had some trouble getting the chocolate to melt smoothly. I ended up having to microwave it in 30-second intervals.

These candy bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I still enjoyed these candy bars. The chocolate and oats were a great combination.

These candy bars are a great way to use up leftover Halloween candy. I made a batch with some leftover Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and they were delicious.

I love the combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and oats in these candy bars. They're the perfect balance of sweet and salty.
