Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Evaporated milk
- 7 ounces Marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Salted peanuts
- 11 ounces Soft caramels
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 cups Milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Line a 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to make removal easier.
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, combine 4 tablespoons of butter, granulated sugar, and evaporated milk. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Let boil for 4 minutes while stirring.
Remove from heat and quickly stir in marshmallow fluff, peanut butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. Spread the nougat mixture evenly into the lined baking dish and refrigerate to set for about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle the salted peanuts evenly over the nougat layer. Press them gently into the surface using a spatula or your hands.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramels and heavy cream together in 30-second increments, stirring after each until smooth. Pour the melted caramel over the peanut layer, spreading evenly. Place in the refrigerator to set for another 15 minutes.
Melt the milk chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second increments and stirring until smooth and glossy.
Pour the melted chocolate over the caramel layer, spreading evenly to cover the entire surface.
Refrigerate the layered bar for at least 2 hours to fully set.
Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the set bar from the dish. Use a sharp knife to slice into 16 even bars.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Let the bars sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for the best texture.
