March 9, 2014 at 4:10 pmI made these yesterday and they are wonderful. They taste so much like a PayDay candy bar, but I am sure they have less preservatives.

August 3, 2014 at 4:44 pmMade these this evening and hubby absolutely loves them. Says they are better than the real thing. For once, he’s willing to take some of these goodies to share with his co-workers (he never wants to take in what I make!). They are delicious, and I’m hoping they freeze well because the pan makes a good amount. I divided them up into squares.

August 14, 2014 at 1:17 pmI made these last week. They seemed to take a lot of time to set up for me (like overnight), but I didn’t refrigerate them – just left them on the counter. Later cut into squares – everyone thought they were actually better than Pay Days and I agree. I’m still eating them now – and the longer they sit, the more the texture is like Pay Day.

September 5, 2014 at 7:50 pmI made them and they taste better than a payday but mine seem to not set up as firm as I would like. Any ideas to help

December 22, 2016 at 11:20 amMy dad & I made these, and I’m telling you, they couldn’t be simpler!! However, next time we make them, we might add an extra thick layer of peanuts to the bottom or wait until the ‘nougat’ cools a lil before pouring it over the bottom layer, because the nougat layer went clear to the bottom of the pan & gobbled up all the peanuts underneath. They still taste AMAZING!!! Now that I have them all cut into bite-sized pieces (easier for sharing), I’m going to dunk them in chocolate and make Baby Ruth’s out if them …. yummo!!!

September 28, 2018 at 10:55 amI made theses yesterday and my husband said they are truly great, just didn’t set. It’s cold weather in idaho now and they sat on the counter for 6 hours. I put them in the fridge hoping to help the setting process. They are pretty tasty even if they don’t set!

June 21, 2022 at 8:48 pmHubby loves Pay Days so had to try this. He loves them and so easy to make. This recipe by weight made the equivalent of 29 and a little more candy bars. This should last him a little while.
