Instructions
1. Prepare the Pan:
• Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
2. First Layer:
• In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, then heat for an additional 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Freeze for about 15 minutes to set.
3. Second Layer:
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar and evaporated milk, bringing it to a boil while stirring constantly for about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in marshmallow cream, optional peanut butter, vanilla extract, and chopped peanuts until well combined. Pour this mixture over the chocolate layer and spread evenly. Return to the freezer for another 15 minutes.
4. Third Layer:
• In a small saucepan, melt the caramels with evaporated milk over low heat until smooth. Pour this caramel layer over the nougat layer and spread evenly.
5. Fourth Layer:
• Repeat the process from the first layer by melting the remaining chocolate chips and peanut butter together. Pour this final layer over the caramel layer and spread evenly.
6. Chill and Serve:
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully set. Once set, cut into squares and enjoy your homemade Snickers fudge!
