In this episode of Claire Recreates, Claire Saffitz takes on the fan-favorite classic completely from scratch. She breaks down every layer that makes Nutty Buddies so addictive: ultra-thin crisp wafers, a deeply roasted peanut butter filling, and a snappy chocolate coating that brings everything together. Along the way, she explores what makes the original so satisfying while showing how homemade ingredients can elevate the flavor and texture into something even better. Whether you grew up unwrapping these after school or you're discovering them for the first time, Claire's homemade version captures all the nostalgia of the original with richer chocolate, more intense peanut flavor, and that signature crunch in every bite.
