  • 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.
  • My light peanut allergy progressed into a severe one overtime. The spicy, itchy feeling was the beginning of it. So, just be careful 😊❤️. I might try this with sunflower seeds considering I'm now allergic to all nuts 😩
  • 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.

    If you think Snickers is spicy, you’re probably allergic to something in it
  • @SpektakOne
    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.
  • I made snickers according to your recipe, it turned out very tasty, thank you very much!

    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.)
  • 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)

    you're swiftly becoming one of my favorites content creators of all time

    I am going through my desserts Playlist and it became apparent that you are the king there.
  • @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.
  • 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.

    It's the best, what I see on Youtube today! I love kinder so much! it was awasome! 🥰🥰🥰
  • "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
  • @janson2911
    I’m actually impressed that Josh could accept that he made a different product at the end. Such humility, hats off
