Hey all,
Im in a bit of a dilema. Im doing a graduation cake in about a week and the kid wants a snicker filling, and wants real snickers included in the filling but doesnt want it to taste like "hes just eating a snicker" ????? Riiiight. SO. If anybody has ANY suggestion, PLEASE throw them out there.

Thanks SO MUCH eveyone,
Alyssa

Hahahaha, that sounds like a real darned if you do, darned if you don't deal!

I would take a snickers bar and just chop it up really small, maybe even take it for a whirl in a food processor? Then I would spread a thin layer of caramel and sprinkle the snickers bits over it. Just a thought!?!

Okay yum... I am getting hungry thinking about snickers!!!

Just a thought. Maybe chop the snickers and add to carmel BC or reg. BC . So has the snickers but with frosting so alittle different.

HTH

why not melt the snicker add some confections suger and add a little penutbutter? for thickness i dont know just a idea

Hmmmm....those are good ideas.

I was also thinking about something with ganache. Like chopped up bits of snicker folded into whipped ganache.

Do you think that would work? Ive made poured ganache but never as a filling....any thoughts/tips?

Hi Aly24, I think that would be a great taste. I've used ganache also as a filling (just letting it cool and then whip) and it works great.
Another suggestion is buttercream (I don't know which one you girls use, I am from Holland ), with Nutella (chocolate/hazelnutspread) in it, tastes also really great!

Goodluck with the cake!!

How long should I let the ganache cool for?

Ive tried this in the past and it didnt work out so well It kinda stayed liquidy even after i whipped it....

Depends how warm it is with you guys over there I normally let it cool down for an hour orso, can be even more. Otherwise you could make it the evening before!

Goodluck with it!

Ok i tried the whipped ganache and let it cool for several hours. After i whipped it, it really didnt change much...it was still VERY think like the consistency of peanut butter. Not very much like i thought a whipped filling should be. Did i do something wrong?

Ok theres this thing call Nutella we Puertorricans eat that a lot, is chocolate with almonds but you dont feel the almonds!! anyway this thing taste awesome! You should try it! OR why not melt a snicker!
