Instructions
Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
Melt 225 grams of milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Stir in 60 grams of creamy peanut butter until fully combined.
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 60 grams of unsalted butter. Stir in 200 grams of granulated sugar and 120 milliliters of evaporated milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil for 4 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 200 grams of marshmallow creme, the remaining 60 grams of creamy peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the nougat mixture over the chilled chocolate layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle 200 grams of salted peanuts over the top, pressing them gently into the nougat layer. Chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 300 grams of caramel candies with 60 milliliters of heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted caramel over the nougat-peanut layer and spread evenly. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
Melt the remaining 225 grams of milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Stir in another 60 grams of creamy peanut butter until fully combined.
Pour the chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the caramel layer and spread evenly to cover completely. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until fully set.
Using the parchment paper as handles, lift the Snickers bar out of the pan. Use a sharp knife to cut into 16 bars. Serve and enjoy!
