A couple of notes:
-

- I added two Snickers because the first time I made these with one,

I did not get a strong Snickers flavor. I wanted the flavor to be very prominent so I added another.

- Also we in our house do not like an overly sweet frosting so I added the cream cheese. This can be omitted if desired. If so just increase your butter and powdered sugar as desired.
