The Best Snickers Donut Recipe

First, preheat your oven to 425 degrees and prepare a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set pans aside.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until combined.

In a larger bowl, add the oil and butter and whisk them until smooth

Slowly add the sugar, vanilla, and eggs to the butter mixture and continue whisking until well combined.

Alternate adding the milk and the dry ingredients into the large mixing bowl, gently mixing until just combined.

Add the batter to a large Ziploc bag or piping bag and cut the corner of the bag large enough to pipe into the donut pans.

Pipe the batter into the prepared pans, filling it 2/3 of the way full.

Bake the donuts in the prepared oven for 8 minutes or until the tops of the donuts are slightly golden.

Let the donuts cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack.

While the donuts cool, you can make your salted caramel. First, add the sugar to a saucepan over medium heat.

Continually stirring, cook the sugar until it turns a dark amber color and begins to liquefy.

When the caramel starts to liquefy, remove the pan from the heat and add in butter. Stir until melted and combined.

Transfer the caramel sauce into a heat-safe bowl to cool fully.

Next, you can make a quick ganache by heating your cream in a saucepan just until it begins to simmer.

When it begins to simmer, quickly remove it from the heat, add in the chocolate, and cover the pan with a lid.

Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.

Remove the lid from the pan and stir the mixture until it's smooth and shiny. Set it aside to cool and thicken.

Now it's time to assemble! Dip each donut in the ganache and place them on a wire rack.

Chill the donuts for 15 minutes in the fridge.

Remove the donuts from the fridge and dip the donut again in the salted caramel.

While the donuts are freshly dipped, sprinkle the salted peanuts right on top and enjoy.
