Ingredients
  

Brownie Layer
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Peanut Nougat Layer
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Caramel Peanut Layer
  • 14 ounces soft caramels, unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 1/4 cups roasted salted peanuts, roughly chopped
Chocolate Topping
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
Extra Mix-Ins & Garnish
  • 3–4 bars Snickers bars, chopped

Method
 

  1. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for lifting. Lightly grease the edges. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Whisk melted butter and sugar until glossy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Spread brownie batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 22–25 minutes, then cool completely.
  5. For the nougat layer: In a saucepan, melt butter, sugar, and evaporated milk. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  6. Remove from heat and mix in marshmallow creme, peanut butter, and vanilla until smooth. Spread evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
  7. For the caramel peanut layer: Microwave caramels and cream in 20-second bursts until smooth. Stir in chopped peanuts and spread over nougat. Press chopped Snickers pieces into the caramel.
  8. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up the layers.

Notes

For clean slices, chill the bars thoroughly before cutting. You can also swap milk chocolate chips for semi-sweet if you prefer a darker chocolate flavor.
