Outrageous Snickers Brownies Caramel (Print View)

Layers of chocolate, nougat, caramel, and peanuts make these decadent bars truly unforgettable.

# What You'll Need:

→ Brownie Base

01 - 1 box brownie mix (prepared as directed, typically with eggs, oil, and water), baked in a 9 x 9-inch pan and fully cooled

→ Nougat Layer

02 - 1 cup marshmallow fluff
03 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter

→ Caramel Layer

04 - 1 1/2 cups caramel bits or unwrapped caramels
05 - 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream

→ Peanut Layer

06 - 1 cup dry roasted peanuts or salted peanuts

→ Chocolate Layer

07 - 1 cup milk chocolate chips
08 - 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
09 - 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter or almond butter

# Directions:

01 - Mix the brownie batter according to the package instructions using eggs, oil, and water as required. Transfer the batter into a 9 x 9-inch baking pan and bake as directed. Allow brownies to cool completely.
02 - In a medium bowl, blend the marshmallow fluff and creamy peanut butter using a rubber spatula or hand mixer until a smooth, uniform mixture forms.
03 - Microwave the nougat mixture for 10 to 15 seconds to loosen the texture for easier spreading. Evenly distribute the nougat mixture over the cooled brownie base in the pan.
04 - Place caramel bits (or unwrapped caramels) and milk or heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30 second intervals, stirring between, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
05 - Pour the caramel evenly over the nougat layer and smooth with a spatula.
06 - Immediately scatter dry roasted or salted peanuts across the surface of the caramel layer. Gently press the peanuts to embed them slightly into the caramel.
07 - Combine milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, and peanut butter or almond butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and glossy.
08 - Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut layer and spread into an even layer. Allow all layers to fully set before cutting into portions.

# Notes:

01 - Microwaving sticky nougat mixture briefly makes it easier to spread evenly over the brownies.
02 - For cleaner slices, chill the final bars before cutting with a sharp knife.
