Then make a box to the size you want your bar to be and line it with non stick baking paper.  <\/p>\n<p>Tip your ice-cream out of its container, cut chunks and add it into the lined box.  Let some of the icecream soften and add it to the top to smooth it out.  Place back in the freezer to set hard again.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/P2500662-550x367.jpg\" alt=\"ginat snickers ice-cream bar\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-81526\" data-wp-pid=\"81526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/P2500662-550x367.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/P2500662-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/P2500662-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/P2500662-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Caramel<\/strong><br \/>\n3 cups or 640g (22.58 ounces) sugar<br \/>\n2 cups or 700g (24.69 ounces) glucose syrup<br \/>\n1 cup or 250mL (8.45 fluid ounces) milk<br \/>\n2 cups or 480g (16.93 ounces) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/cream-use\/\">cream<\/a><br \/>\n1\/2 tsp salt if desired<br \/>\n600g (21.16 ounces) roasted salted peanuts<br \/>\nbrown food colouring (optional)<\/p>\n<p>Heat the sugar, milk, cream and glucose syrup in a pan stirring until the sugar dissolves.

There is no need to temper this as it will be frozen.  Add the ice-cream bar on top and quickly before it sets spread the chocolate up the sides of the bar.  Run your knife around the base so you have a straight line and return to the freezer so the ice-cream doesn&#8217;t melt.<\/p>\n<p>Melt the remaining chocolate and pour over the top of the bar.<\/p>\n<p>Wrap in clear cellophane and gold wrapping paper as shown in the video.
