As promised, here is the picture of the Snickers Bars. Its been quite a while since I last posted and that is because we have been really busy. My parents who lost their home in the Minot ND flood of 2011, are no longer homeless. They get to move into their brand new home in a couple of weeks. We all went out and watched as they moved the house from the semi trailer, onto its new foundation. I got married last week! We are still going to Hawaii this summer to renew our vows and have our honeymoon. I am so excited that I dont want to think about it because I could squeal with excitement for days on end. I also had 3 root canals at once. Surprisingly not as painful as I expected! My little logan started daycare. its a few days a week for a few hours so that I can get all of my running done with only 1 ankle biter.

Oh yeah... the picture...
So there they are. They look so simple, but they are SO delicious. It looks like alot, but dont get overwhelmed. They are WELL worth any time put into them.

makes one 9×13 pan

bottom chocolate layer
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
Thoroughly grease you baking pan. Melt ingredients together in a saucepan or microwave, then pour into the baking dish and spread until even. Let cool and harden completely.

nougat layer
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
1/4 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 cup salted peanuts chopped, roughly chopped
1 tsp vanilla extract
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in sugar and milk, stirring until dissolved and bring to a boil. Let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in fluff, peanut butter and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Turn off heat and fold in peanuts, then pour over bottom chocolate layer. Let cool completely.

caramel layer
1 14-ounce bag of caramels
1/4 cup whipping cream
Combine ingredients in a saucepan over low heat. Let melt, stirring occasionally, until smooth – this took about 10 minutes for me. Pour over nougat layer and let cool completely.

Top chocolate layer
1 1/4 cups milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup peanut butter
Melt ingredients together in a saucepan or microwave, then pour over caramel and spread until even. Let cool and harden completely.
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving, then cut as desired. These can stay at room temperature, but they do get gooey. I like them refrigerated best!

Note: for best results, buy one of the half-sheet aluminum cake pans at the grocery store. That way, you can pop the entire square out and cut from there! I did not put pieces of peanuts in mine because I used chunky peanut butter, but I wish I would have used peanuts as well.
Happy Eating
