Dinner Tonight - Deli Sandwiches

I have been busy planning for shavuos so I didn't really have time to make dinner (shhhh don't tell my kids that - they think this counts as making dinner). I made deli sandwiches and everyone ate and enjoyed. I did however, try a new dessert for yom tov that looks like it came out great! It is called Better then Snickers Bars. Enjoy!




LAYER 1

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup sugar

2 Tbsp. confectioners’ sugar

Pinch salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cut into squares

1 large egg yolk

LAYER 2

2 cups store-bought caramel cream

1½ cups roasted salted peanuts, chopped

LAYER 3

2 bars (7 oz.) milk chocolate

¼ cup (1/2 stick) butter

Chopped roasted salted peanuts, for sprinkling the top

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the ingredients for the first layer until a dough forms. Press the dough onto the bottom of a 9x13-inch pan until smooth and thin. Preheat the oven to 350° F. Chill the dough layer in the freezer for 20 minutes. Remove from the freezer and bake immediately for 15 minutes. Allow to cool.
2. To prepare the second layer: Combine the caramel cream and peanuts. Pour the mixture over the first layer and spread evenly. Freeze until firm.
3. To prepare the third layer: Microwave the chocolate and butter until melted, taking care not to let it burn. With a spatula, smooth the chocolate and butter mixture over the caramel layer. Sprinkle with the chopped salted peanuts. Freeze until ready to serve.
4. To serve, slice the dessert into squares while still slightly frozen. Bring to room temperature for at least 15 minutes before serving.Yields 20 bars.
