Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Evaporated milk
- 1.5 cups Marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 14 ounces Caramel candies
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Salted peanuts
Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Melt 1.5 cups of the milk chocolate chips and 0.5 cup of the peanut butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly into the prepared pan for the bottom layer. Freeze for 10 minutes until firm.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and evaporated milk. Cook while stirring constantly for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the marshmallow creme, 0.5 cup peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread this nougat layer evenly over the chocolate base. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until completely smooth. Pour and spread evenly over the nougat layer. Immediately sprinkle the salted peanuts over the warm caramel, gently pressing them in. Freeze for 15 minutes to set.
Melt the remaining 1.5 cups of milk chocolate chips and 0.5 cup of peanut butter in the microwave in 30-second bursts until smooth. Pour over the peanut-studded caramel layer, spreading evenly to cover. Return the pan to the freezer for 20 minutes.
Once completely set, remove the candy slab from the pan using the parchment overhang. Use a sharp knife to slice into bars or squares.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
