Tips:

  • For the graham cracker crust, use a food processor to finely crush the graham crackers. This will ensure that the crust is evenly textured and holds together well.
  • When melting the butter for the crust, be sure to melt it completely. This will help the crust to set properly.
  • For the caramel layer, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the caramel from burning. Stir the caramel constantly as it cooks to ensure that it does not overcook.
  • When adding the peanuts to the caramel layer, be sure to stir them in well. This will help to distribute the peanuts evenly throughout the layer.
  • For the chocolate ganache layer, use high-quality chocolate. This will ensure that the ganache is rich and flavorful.
  • When melting the chocolate for the ganache, be sure to do so slowly and over low heat. This will help to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • When pouring the ganache over the caramel layer, be sure to spread it out evenly. This will help to create a smooth and even top layer.
  • Chill the candy bars for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving. This will help the layers to set properly.

Conclusion:

Payday candy bar squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With a graham cracker crust, a gooey caramel layer, a crunchy peanut layer, and a rich chocolate ganache layer, these candy bars are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give this recipe a try!
