Ingredients

Bottom Chocolate Layer
  • 1¼ cups milk chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
Nougat Layer
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup evaporated milk
  • 1½ cups marshmallow fluff
  • ¼ cup peanut butter
  • 1½ cups salted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Caramel Layer
  • 1 (14-ounce) bag of caramels
  • ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
Top Chocolate Layer
  • 1¼ cup milk chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup peanut butter

Instructions

Bottom Layer
    Cup of Yum
  1. Line a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil then spray it with non-stick cooking spray. This makes the removal of the bars easy!
  2. Add chocolate chips and peanut butter to a microwave-safe dish. Melt them together, stirring every 30 seconds. Be careful not to let the chocolate burn. Spread the layer evenly in the bottom of the prepared pan. I put each layer in the fridge to let it completely harden. This will help speed up the process because each layer needs to be completely cooled and set.
Nougat Layer
  1. Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a saucepan. Add the milk and sugar and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes, whisking together occasionally.
  2. Add the marshmallow fluff, peanut butter, and vanilla stirring until smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat and fold in the peanuts. Pour over the bottom chocolate layer and spread evenly. Place in the fridge to cool completely.
Caramel Layer
  1. Melt the caramels and heavy whipping cream in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Pour over the nougat layer and place in the fridge to cool completely.
Top Chocolate Layer
  1. Melt the chocolate and peanut butter in the microwave together, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Pour over the caramel layer and spread evenly. Cool the bars completely in the fridge. Keep them in the fridge until right before serving because the bars will soften. Enjoy!
