4 Layers of chocolate and peanuts, much better than a Snickers bar!

It's evil, but in a very good way. You have to be allergic to nuts not to like it and all you need is a small piece and it satisfies your need for sweet! There is NO possible way to make this healthy or less fattening. Sorry.



FIRST LAYER:
1-1/2 to 2 cups of milk chocolate chips
1/4 c of butterscotch chips
1/4 cup of peanut butter - I prefer creamy for this layer because it forms the "outside" of the bar.

Melt all of the ingredients above in the microwave for abt 1-1/2 minutes. Stir until smooth. You may need to add a few seconds, but DONT overcook! Spread in a greased 9 x 13 pan. CHILL while making the second layer.


SECOND LAYER:
1 cup sugar
1/2 stick butter
1/3 c evaporated milk
7 oz of marshmallow creme
1/4 cup of peanut butter - crunchy here is good, but you can use either and its all a matter of taste.
1-1/2 c cocktail peanuts (salted and roasted)

Place the first three ingredients in a saucepan and cook for 10 minutes over medium heat. Stir until smooth. Add marshmallow cream and peanut butter until all incorporated. Pour over the chilled first layer. Sprinkle nuts over the top. Place back into the fridge and CHILL while making third layer.


THIRD LAYER:
One 14oz bag of caramels, unwrapped
2 T of evaporated milk

Place caramels and evaporated milk into a microwave safe bowl and into the microwave for 2-3 minutes. Stir until smooth. Pour over second layer and CHILL while making FOURTH LAYER.


FOURTH LAYER:
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup of peanut butter (creamy)
1/4 cup of butterscotch chips

Melt above ingredients in the microwave for about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes and stir together until smooth. Pour over third layer. Chill in refrigerator for several hours. Cut while still chilled.
