Snickers Fudge

If the picture doesn't make you drool, I don't know what will. :D,,  Gooey caramel, peanuts, chocolate . . . what more do you need in life? :D  This recipe has several steps. It takes some time to let each layer set up, but it is not hard to make. I usually cut these into small squares so that it will serve a lot. This is also a recipe that can be make quite a bit ahead of time. I have had this in the fridge for up to a week and it does just fine.

Snickers Fudge

Servings: 24

Ingredients:

FIRST LAYER:

• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• ¼ cup creamy peanut butter

SECOND LAYER:

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup sugar
• ¼ cup evaporated milk
• 1 ½ cups marshmallow crème
• ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup salted peanuts, chopped

THIRD LAYER:

• 14-oz. bag caramels, unwrapped
• ¼ cup evaporated milk

FOURTH LAYER:

• 1 cup milk chocolate chips
• ¼ cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions:

Spray a 9x13 glass pan with cooking spray and set aside.

FIRST LAYER: In a small bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Heat in the

microwave in 30 seconds and stir. Microwave again for 30 seconds and stir until creamy (you may need to repeat microwaving one more time). Pour in an even layer into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place pan in freezer.

SECOND LAYER: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the

sugar and evaporated milk and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes.

Remove from heat and immediately stir in marshmallow crème, peanut butter and vanilla.

Add peanuts and stir until incorporated. Pour mixture over the chocolate layer from the

freezer and spread evenly. Place back in freezer.

THIRD LAYER: Add the caramels and evaporated milk to a small saucepan. Cook over

medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until caramel is melted and smooth (I have heard that you can also do this in the microwave, but I have never tried it). Remove pan from freezer and pour caramel over the second layer. Place back in freezer.

FOURTH LAYER: In a small bowl, combine chocolate chips and peanut butter. Repeat microwaving intervals used for the first layer. Stir until creamy and pour in an even layer onto the top.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and cut into squares when ready to serve (they are super rich, so cut them small! I cut about 24 pieces and they were a good size!). Keep refrigerated.

Makes about 24 servings (but it really depends on how big/small you cut your pieces).
