Ingredients

Brownies:

  • ½ cup (118ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • cup (54g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon 15ml water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (62g) all-purpose flour

Topping:

  • 7 ounces marshmallow fluff
  • 3 cups chocolate chips divided
  • 10 ounces caramels unwrapped (see note)
  • 3 (45ml) tablespoons milk, divided (see note)
  • ¾ cup 200g creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup chopped peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. If you don’t use foil, use parchment. You’ll want to be able to remove these from the pan easily.
  • Make the Brownies: Stir together oil, sugar, cocoa, and eggs until smooth. Add vanilla, water, salt, and flour and stir until smooth. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until baked through. Cool completely before finishing bars.
  • Nougat Layer: Place 1 ½ cups chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, then stir and heat in additional 30 second increments until melted and smooth. Add Marshmallow Fluff and 1 tablespoon (15ml) milk and stir – mixture will be thick. Spread evenly in a thin layer over cooled brownies. Chill while preparing caramel.
  • Caramel Layer: Add caramels to a microwave safe bowl along with 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) milk (see note). Heat for 1 minute, then stir and continue heating and stirring in 30 second increments until melted and smooth. Spread evenly over nougat. Chill to set caramel.
  • Peanut Layer: Sprinkle chopped peanuts over caramel. Place peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30-45 seconds, until it’s smooth and spreadable. Spread over peanuts. Chill while preparing topping.
  • Topping: Place remaining 1 ½ cups chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, then stir and heat in additional 30 second increments until melted and smooth. Spread evenly over peanut butter and chill to set.
  • Cut into bars or squares and serve
  • Store in refrigerator. Bars can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • Caramels: Not all caramels melt the same. If using Kraft squares or bits, use 3 tablespoons milk. If using Werthers Chewy Caramels, use 2 tablespoons. Werthers Soft Caramels are not recommended. Regardless, I recommend storing these bars in the refrigerator – after a few hours at room temperature the caramel will ooze.
  • Be sure to line your pan so you can easily remove the whole slab of bars to cut them.
  • When cutting, make each cut in one slice (instead of see-sawing the knife) to avoid splintering the top.
  • Only use a no-stir peanut butter, not natural.
  • Feel free to substitute a box brownie mix.
