Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Evaporated milk
- 1 jar Marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Caramel candies
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1.5 cups Salted peanuts (roughly chopped)
Instructions
Prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, allowing the edges to hang over for easy lifting later.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
Spread the chocolate-peanut butter mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place in the refrigerator to set while preparing the nougat layer.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar and evaporated milk. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the marshmallow creme, remaining 1/4 cup of peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the nougat layer evenly over the chilled chocolate layer. Return the dish to the refrigerator to set.
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel candies and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
Fold in the chopped salted peanuts, then pour the caramel-peanut mixture over the nougat layer, spreading evenly.
For the final layer, melt the remaining 1 cup of milk chocolate chips with 1/4 cup of peanut butter in the microwave using 30-second intervals. Stir until smooth and pour over the caramel layer. Spread evenly.
Refrigerate the assembled Snicker Squares for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Once set, lift the dessert out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife. Serve and enjoy!
