Very simple cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You don't need to make caramel or nougat for this recipe—just prepare a delicious cream with condensed milk, peanuts, butter, and buttery crackers. The taste of this cake is very similar to a real Snickers (especially if you lightly toast the peanuts). Be sure to cover the finished cake with chocolate glaze. This recipe uses dark chocolate glaze, but milk chocolate glaze works just as well. Feel free to experiment. The dessert is ready. Serve it at the table.
