Ingredients

For the Chocolate Layers:

  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips divided
  • 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter divided

For the Nougat Layer:

  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Evaporated Milk
  • 7 ounces Marshmallow Creme
  • 1/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cup Salted Peanuts roughly chopped

For the Caramel Layer:

  • 11 ounces Caramels unwrapped or use caramel bits
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream

Instructions

  • Line a 9X13 baking pan with parchment paper.  Make sure that the parchment paper hangs over the edges of the pan.

For the 1st Chocolate Layer:

  • Place 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of the creamy peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir and continue to microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
  • Spread this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and place in the freezer while you make the other layer for the chocolate to set.
  • For the Nougat Layer:
  • Melt the butter in a medium size saucepan over medium high heat. Stir in the sugar and evaporated milk until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Bring the mixture to a low boil and let it cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in marshmallow creme, peanut butter and vanilla extract until combined.  Remove from heat. Stir in the peanuts.
  • Pour this mixture on top of the chocolate layer in the pan into an even layer and place the pan back into the freezer.
  • For the Caramel Layer:
  • Place the caramel pieces and heavy whipping cream in a microwave safe bowl.  Heat in 45 seconds.
  • Stir and then continue to heat in 30 seconds, stirring after each interval, until the caramel is melted and smooth.
  • Pour the melted caramel over the nougat layer.  Use the back of a spoon to spread the caramel out as evenly as possible.
  • Refrigerate for 30-60 seconds until the caramel is fully set.

For the 2nd Chocolate Layer:

  • Place 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of the creamy peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl.
  • Microwave for 1 minute. Stir and continue to microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
  • Pour over the caramel layer and use a spatula into an even layer. Refrigerate until completely set (30-60 minutes).

For Serving:

  • Remove the snickers from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into 24 squares with a sharp knife. Let them sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes to soften some and then they are ready to serve and enjoy!
