Notes

Use clean equipment: The liqueur will split if it comes into contact with anything acidic such as citrus juice or vinegar. Even just a trace left on a pan, spoon, whisk or bottle can turn it, so make sure that all of your equipment is scrupulously clean.
Be patient: The nougat will take time to fully melt. Keep stirring it until you are certain it has melted.
Strain your liqueur: You must strain this Snickers liqueur once it has been made to remove chunks of peanut. Ideally use a nut bag but if you do not have one a fine-meshed sieve works well.
Shake well before serving: As the drink sits in the fridge some of the chocolate will settle at the bottom of the bottle. Give it a vigorous shake for around 30 seconds before pouring. If you store it in a clear bottle you will be able to tell when it has been sufficiently shaken.

Garnishes

As for ways to garnish your sweet & creamy peanut butter liqueur, here are my top suggestions:

Slices of Snickers bar: Cut ½cm slices and thread them onto a cocktail pick.
Miniature Snickers bar: Thread a miniature bar (from a pack of Celebrations chocolates) onto a cocktail pick.
Whipped cream: Swirl whipped cream on top of your drink and scatter with flaked chocolate.
