Number Of Ingredients 20

Bottom Chocolate Layer
1 cup milk chocolate chips (or half semi-sweet)
1/3 cup butterscotch chips
1/3 cup peanut butter
Nougat Layer
4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1-1/2 cups marshmallow creme
1/3 cup peanut butter
1-1/2 cups chopped salted peanuts (optional)
Caramel Layer
1 (14-ounce package) caramel candy
1/4 cup cream
1 tablespoon butter
Top Chocolate Layer
1 cup milk chocolate chips (or half semi-sweet)
1/3 cup butterscotch chips
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

Steps:

  • Bottom Chocolate Layer Melt milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and peanut butter in a pan over low heat; stirring consistently. Pour mixture into a 9 x 13″ baking pan lightly coated with nonstick spray or lined with plastic wrap which is long enough to drape over sides of the pan. Spread mixture and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Nougat Layer Melt butter over medium heat in pan; add sugars and evaporated milk; bring to a boil, and cook additional 5 minutes while stirring. Remove from the heat and add marshmallow creme and peanut butter. Pour over the bottom layer and gently spread mixture. If you use peanuts, scatter across the top. Place in the refrigerator for 15 - 30 minutes. Caramel Layer Place the unwrapped caramel candy, butter, and cream in a medium saucepan. Place over low heat and stir until the mixture has completely melted and is smooth. Pour in the pan and quickly spread over nougat layer. Place in the refrigerator for 15 - 30 minutes. Top Chocolate Layer Melt milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter in a pan over low heat, stirring consistently. Pour over the caramel layer and spread. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before cutting into squares. Store in an air-tight container. NOTE: I have substituted peanut butter chips for the butterscotch chip in one or both layers. Even though you can't see the peanuts, they are in this batch.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Always prepare and measure all of your ingredients before you start cooking. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
  • Use Good Quality Chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the final flavor of your candy bar. Opt for a high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best results.
  • Temper Your Chocolate: Tempering your chocolate is an important step that will help to improve its texture and prevent it from becoming grainy. If you're not sure how to temper chocolate, there are many resources available online that can help you.
  • Don't Overmix: When you're mixing the ingredients for your candy bar, be careful not to overmix them. Overmixing can make the candy bar tough and chewy.
  • Chill Your Candy Bar: Once you've assembled your candy bar, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before cutting it into bars. This will help the candy bar to set and make it easier to cut.
