Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). In a saucepan, combine *water*, *butter*, and *salt*. Heat until the butter melts and the mixture reaches a boil.
Quickly stir in the flour, continuing to stir until the mix forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Let it cool for a few minutes before adding the beaten *eggs*.
Once combined, transfer the dough to a piping bag. Pipe onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Allow the *shells* to cool completely.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whip the *heavy cream* until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold in the *nougat* and *caramel sauce* until well blended.
Add the *chopped peanuts* for a crunchy texture. Transfer the filling to a piping bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
Step 3
Using a knife or piping tip, carefully create a small hole at one end of each éclair shell. Pipe the *filling* into the cooled shells until they are full.
In a microwave or using a double boiler, melt the *milk chocolate* until smooth. Dip each filled éclair into the chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on a wire rack or parchment paper to set.
Enjoy the delightful combination of chocolate, nougat, caramel, and peanuts for a truly indulgent Snickers-inspired treat!

Variations
Gluten-Free Variation 🌾🚫: Use a gluten-free flour blend in place of regular flour. You can find pre-mixed options or create your own combination of rice flour, almond flour, and tapioca starch.
Vegan Variation 🌱: Replace dairy milk with almond or soy milk and swap butter for a plant-based margarine. Make sure to use vegan chocolate and a flaxseed or chia seed egg substitute for the pastry.
These adjustments will allow everyone to indulge in these delightful eclairs, regardless of dietary preferences!
Faq
- Why is my eclair pastry not rising?
Ensure your oven is preheated correctly and avoid opening the door while baking, as this can disrupt the rise.
- How can I prevent my chocolate from seizing?
Make sure there's no moisture in your bowl and utensils, as water can cause the chocolate to seize.
- Is it necessary to temper the chocolate for this recipe?
Tempering is not necessary for this recipe as melted milk chocolate provides the desired coating texture for these eclairs.
- Can I prepare eclairs in advance?
Yes, you can bake the pastry shells ahead of time and store them in an airtight container, then fill them when ready to serve.
- What consistency should the filling have?
The filling should be thick enough to spoon into the pastry without dripping. If too runny, chill it until it thickens.
- How do I achieve a consistent size for my eclairs?
Using a piping bag with a large round tip helps in making uniform-sized eclairs. Practice makes perfect!
