Being inspired by the amazing Snickers bars, I’ve come out with a decadent and elegant dessert, perfect for the upcoming holidays or for any other occasion all year round. This amazing Snickers Mousse Cake (Chocolate Caramel Peanut Mousse Cake) is made of a chocolate peanut sponge cake at the bottom topped with an irresistible gooey salted caramel and peanut layer, covered in a silky flavorful peanut butter and cream cheese mousse and chocolate glaze. Can it get any better than this? Not to mention is gluten free as well.
