Copycat PayDay Bars

Tuesday, September 13, 2022
I just love PayDay candy bars and these Copycat PayDay Bars are a sweet and salty combination of crunchy peanut nougat, made in minutes that taste just like the famous candy bar!

This recipe is super easy and reminds me of a cross between nougat and fudge and is also similar to our Homemade Quick and Easy Italian Torrone and Holiday Vintage Candy Dot Nougat recipes.

If you're a big fan of PayDay candy bars, this is a quick fix that really in my opinion tastes better than the originals but you can be the judge of that.

This recipe takes the easy way out of candy making with no fuss using mini marshmallows, sweetened condensed milk and peanut butter chips and it's super tasty.

Together with all these melded flavors together with the addition of salted peanuts, you have the perfect style copycat candy bar you've grew up with.

Although it’s quicker to just buy that store-bought brand, these make great gifts, especially for all those payday lovers out there.

I actually made these for my co-workers as a reward for a job well done and they always appreciate that extra bit of work that went into my homemade from-the-heart version.

Just follow these simple step-by-step directions on how to make these bars and you're going to love the ease of this recipe.

It's also printable if you don't want to scroll through the tips below and right to the recipe card.
