PayDay® Bars

Made this and it was awful. After researching for a better recipe. I found out the main ingredient was missing Caramel...

Made exactly as written. Easy to make. Taste very much like the candy bar. Would recommend 1-2 more cups of nuts and a larger pan to thin out the nugget (as is, nugget is about and 1" thick). Must keep refrigerated otherwise nugget softens and becomes gooy (maybe more marsh mellows would help). Will definitely make again with the adjustments.

Just so we’re clear on what caramel is... it’s melted sugar. This recipe isn’t missing the caramel it’s just not easy to replicate a candy bar made by a manufacturer that can use highly processed ingredients.

I followed the recipe exactly, except that I only had a 10 ounce package of peanut butter chips. Something burned and stuck to the bottom of my pan while I was stirring, and it flaked into the mixture, but it still came out great! I can't stop eating it straight from the fridge.

This worked out so good, I will never buy the Pay Day Candy Bar again! After reading the other comments, I made this in a half sheet cake pan and it came out nicely. I doubled the nuts and added sea salt to half of it. I will make this again and again. Great recipe. Thank you for sharing.

I didn't let the marshmallows melt completely otherwise followed recipe. Very good and easy to make

10/10 will make again, pretty darn good.

I made it. Was good, but the peanut butter taste was just a bit overwhelming. I think next time I'll try toning it down some by using a little less peanut butter chips & more marshmallows.

Really wanted to put bars on my Christmas cookie tray but too gooey and sticky to cut and keep shape. I wonder if adding more peanuts like suggested by some would have helped since there seemed to be way too much gooey sauce.

Major flaw in this recipe. I made it, and like some of the other reviews mentioned, it was too gooey and stretchy like taffy. I decided to google this recipe and every other site I found said 2 cups of marshmallows, where this one says 3. So I made it again with only 2 cups and it turned out perfect.

I used dry roasted honey nuts, dulce leche and Carmel chips for more Carmel flavor. Was a little sweet but oh so good

sticky, gooey... awful. Don;t do it

Very close to a payday.

While tasty, does NOT taste like a PayDay Bar. PayDay Bars have a caramel center as stated on their wrapper. This recipe has a peanut butter center. Big difference in taste. Want a PayDay clone, look elsewhere.

Flavor is unbelievable!! Just LOVE these!! They are sticky though. May be better to roll in more nuts after cutting so that they can be picked up without getting VERY sticky fingers.

I made these, but I had peanut butter/milk chocolate chips., It did not set, I followed recipe to the T What happened? Taste great though

5 star for taste but 3 star for the sticky finished product. I would love to hear if anyone has figured out how to make the bar more dense and less sticking ( like the store variety)

Tasted just like the real thing! We tore through these quick. Next time I'll push the top peanut layer into the gooey center. Had a lot of cast off peanuts other wise.

Very easy, very good! If still sticky on the bottom after chilling thoroughly, dust bottoms of bars with cornstarch-- doesn't add any extra sugar or taste but they won't be sticky.

Super easy to make. Everyone loves them. I did sprinkle a little salt on the nougat at my husband's request, and it made it even better.

Just like the real thing.

Made exactly per recipe. Very nice and EASY! Folks eat-em-up. Tastes like a "Payday" for fraction of cost if ingredients bought in discount stores. Have made many batches. I tried the "adding more nuts suggestion." Looks nice on the dish. But a bit too salty and nutty for me. Original recipe is a good balance of sweet and salt as is. Thanks for a great recipe.

Taste great...family really liked...I found it a little too soft.

I made it just like the recipe except I used dry roasted peanuts with sea salt. Turned out delicious. I would definitely make them again.

I could eat a million of these! They're incredible. I made them with just sugar, butter, and cream before making a Carmel and put nuts in it. This recipe seems a bit more complicated but it does about the same thing as my recipe.
