[@TheJordanComplex]

Soon as you said that it tasted “spicy” I immediately told my wife “I think he’s allergic to part of the Snickers”. Glad to see the comments agree.

[@lavender2290]

I get the same thing, it’s just from crappy milk chocolate so it burns. “ The short explanation is that the methylxanthine compounds found in chocolate can cause throat irritation and a burnt feeling for some people. These compounds, when consumed in excess, can create an uncomfortable burning sensation by blocking signals between nerve cells.”

[@kitteykat55]

​@lavender2290 You are the first person I've ever seen that's able to explain, let alone know about the burn. Now I can finally live my life with the reason behind the burn no longer plaguing my mind lol

In 1930, Mars introduced Snickers, named after the favorite horse of the Mars family. The Snickers chocolate bar consists of nougat, peanuts, and caramel with a chocolate coating. The bar was marketed under the name "Marathon" in the UK and Ireland until 1990, when Mars decided to align the UK product with the global Snickers name (Mars had marketed and discontinued an unrelated bar named Marathon in the United States during the 1970s which was similar to the UK's Curly Wurly). The early (1939) ingredients list includes white sugar, sweet milk chocolate, corn syrup, peanuts, milk condensed with sugar, coconut oil, malted milk, whites of eggs and salt.

[@TheGamingChad.]

is the cream salty caramel or peanut butter?

[@ThespianPlayer]

If something is spicy that isn't meant to be, you are probably allergic to something in the Snickers. I can personally vouch for this as a person with allergies who thought tomatoes, kiwis, and pineapple were meant to be spicy. Edit: TLDR of my edit: For me personally, it's not the acidity of the fruit nor the enzymes, it's food allergies. I know tomatoes, kiwis, and pineapples are acidic. I've been tested by an allergist and have a confirmed tomato allergy. Eating fresh kiwis and pineapples gives me a similar mild allergic reaction to eating tomatoes: tingling tongue, burning mouth, and burning throat. I have other various mild food allergies that feel exactly the same. (Based on The Iron Swede's reply, I might have Oral Allergy Syndrome that causes an allergic reaction to fresh kiwi/pineapple and not the cooked kind. Gonna do more research on that, though.)

I think he's talking about the raspy bitterness of the cheap chocolate. I wouldn't call it "spicy" per se, but snickers do give me a weird burning feeling in the back of my throat and I'm not allergic to anything.

[@StarlightStephanie]

This seems more like a Milky Way with peanuts than a Snickers. I was kinda surprised that you got all the way to the end before considering that the nougat in a Snickers is peanut-flavored.

[@oliviaptinto]

exactly! He missed the peanut butter in the nougat, that's why it doesn't taste the same..

[@Hathur]

Yep. I did this as a kid, I'd "picked out" the nougat and eat it separate from the rest of ther bar (yes I was a weird kid). The nougat definitely taste a lot like peanut butter so it seems a safe assumption theirs is made with peanut butter added and why the 2 bars tasted very different.

[@SpektakOne]

@@Hathur “I did this as a kid…” Hell, I’m an adult and I still do it from time to time; eat away the chocolate, then the caramel/peanuts, and then I’m left with the best part 😊

Josh’s version struck me as more of a Milky Way Midnight with peanuts. I also think it’s correct that the Snickers nougat is a peanut butter nougat. (ETA: Josh’s version looks absolutely delicious and I always want more texture from a Milky Way Midnight)

[@SkaterBlades]

You can tell by the colour of the nougat in the snickers, it's a light brown not completely white. That colour would come from peanut butter which is a more golden shade of brown

[@jamariopetitte6542]

milky way midnight goes so hard its my favorite

[@soonerterp]

I thought the exact same thing and kept mentally ignoring the peanuts (to which I am a bit allergic) and imagining that Joshua was creating a But Better Milky Way Midnight. Also never forget that Milky Ways of all varieties share that vein, but for whatever reason the Snickers vein seems to get all the attention. And FWIW, omitting the peanuts that are not my friends, I'm thisclose to attempting this (my neighbour will let me borrow his stand mixer).

[@jjjacer]

also i think snickers uses more of a Hershey's milk chocolate that a lot of US candy's use (might be that burning sensation he described in the back of his throat, as Hershey's milk chocolate has a chemical similar to vomit that is brought out in its processing - butyric acid, which is why the chocolate while loved by us, many places overseas to say it tastes a bit like vomit compared to their chocolates.)

[@kieranhughes9645]

Thank God someone pointed out that snicker nougat has nuts in it and it's NOT plain. Very disappointed Weissman. Didn't know about the acid thing in American choc too, v interesting!

[@abderrahimbenmoussa4359]

I confirm, they do add peanut butter to the nougat, you can see that on an episode of how its made or something like that and it's semi salty roasted PB so there comes the extra savour. Also not sure they do use the honey as it is more costly and has a specific taste. I think they go with inverted syrup.

[@whatareyoudoingyouidiot342]

They probably use high fructose corn syrup cuz it's cheaper.

[@MrsPiggy028]

I just watched that episode of Modern Marvels 😆

[@Sam-ts9gw]

I'm glad you were honest about how it wasn't exactly like a snickers bar - I actually find it more interesting that you created a newish confection.

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

"We've got the four-and-a-half-inch satisfier" Joshua knows exactly what he is doing...never change, Papa. I appreciate you resisting your need to garnish everything with flaky salt for this one. The vein needs to satisfy. The burning feeling you're refeering to is from the butyric acid formed due to the lipolysis process that milk goes through in some types of chocolate. Don't worry it's not allergies, it's just acids tasting like acids hehe

[@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un]

They're not actually getting rid of the veins. A heavily edited article made its rounds on Twitter that claimed Snickers was doing so (this same person even posted a "Snickers" bar without the veins) after its parent Mars announced they would be changing the green M&M to desexualize her. Snickers had to step in to say that they are in fact, not getting rid of the veins anytime soon. And it's honestly pretty funny to see Tucker Carlson completely meltdown (pun intended) over a freakin' candy (let's not forget his meltdown over Disney)...I swear they meltdown over the silliest things

[@Slick_Slimey_Roiii]

Bring these but better videos ......coz they are satisfying ❤😂

[@skmuzammilzeeshan6173]

Finally!!! I will get relish my favourite bar without pinch to my pockets. Thanks Joshua for doing this .😋

[@SkaterBlades]

It tastes different because snickers basically taste like peanut butter which has a slightly different flavour to regular peanuts. Snickers definitely use peanut butter in the nougat (you can tell from the light brown colouring of the nougat) which concentrates the peanut flavour throughout the bar rather than just having a layer of peanuts where the flavour is slightly drowned out by the chocolate, caramel and nougat

[@KeshaIsSaved]

[@soulfulwildflower3068]

Good effort either way! I did not even think about making candy bars at home until my brother started doing that a couple of years ago, and they tasted better than the store bought ones! Now I prefer the made at home ones. I would love to make a version of the snickers almond brownie bars next.

[@Bitlox]

When the preview snippets flew by, I had the distinct impression that baked beans somehow someway played a part in this confection. Not sure if I'm let down or relieved.

[@wikuscarstens5264]

Used to have "Contains Egg" on the outside. Could perhaps reference to something else like the nougat etc or something, but never have I even seen it on any other chocolate bar. And just when I exclaimed " Hazaa that must be their secret ingredient" it was removed from the packaging. Still my favy fave of all time ! P.S.: From South Africa with love!

[@Irish-Triplet]

Exactly 💯. If using whole eggs, you'll ruin this recipe. Egg white!

[@mphillips4915]

Advice from someone who actually did the recipe: -You can use extra peanuts in the caramel if you want. I used probably 2.5 cups. - The timing of the egg whites and syrup for your nougat is a little difficult, I'd say start melting your sugar before beginning to whip your eggwhites. They don't take long to whip up and if they whip for too long they will dry out. My eggwhites also required soo much more sugar to get glossy. Also, I melted a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter and finely ground up 1 cup of peanuts and mixed those into my nougat as a final step before pouring. Snickers nougat is peanut flavored! And *do not* forget to pour the syrup down the bowl-- not directly in. - The chocolate was really difficult, I have no idea how he managed to dip his snickers using forks. I ended up just melting 2x as much chocolate just doing a pour-over to coat them. When that layer hardened I flipped em and piped on the bottom layer to seal . If you actually want it to taste like a snickers, definitely use milk chocolate and not dark. Yes, I tried both haha. -- This isn't to be condescending; I really enjoyed the recipe!! The textures are literally perfect and everyone loves them. They last in the fridge for days. I just couldn't find many helpful comments so I wanted to add one!

[@YoungManDub]

Gotta appreciate this guy's presentation like anybody is actually going to do this

[@user-lk4nw6mg8c]

I think the burning sensation comes from the palm oil they put in the chocolate instead of the cocoa butter, cocoa butter melts at body temperature so by the time it reaches your throat it's melted, but not with palm oil which melts at a higher temperature, then it gets kind of stuck in your throat. Just a theory ^^
