Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer:
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
Caramel and Nut Layer:
- 14 ounces (396 grams) caramel cubes
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups salted peanuts, chopped
Marshmallow Layer:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup evaporated milk
- 1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft the foundational chocolate base by gently melting milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter until uniformly smooth. Distribute the glossy mixture evenly across a greased 9×13-inch pan, then refrigerate until completely solidified.
- Create the marshmallow stratum by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Incorporate sugar and evaporated milk, allowing the mixture to reach a rolling boil. Fold in marshmallow creme, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and roughly chopped salted peanuts. Carefully cascade this luscious mixture atop the initial chocolate layer, then return to the refrigerator until thoroughly chilled and firm.
- Develop the caramel tier by slowly melting caramel cubes with heavy cream, stirring continuously until achieving a silky, uniform consistency. Gently pour the molten caramel over the chilled marshmallow layer, then restore to the refrigerator for complete setting.
- Replicate the initial chocolate layer by remelting milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter. Delicately drape this final chocolate coating over the caramel stratum, then refrigerate until entirely set and rigid.
- Once fully solidified, slice the decadent creation into precise squares, revealing the intricate layers of this Snickers-inspired fudge delicacy.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth, even melting and consistent texture throughout the layers.
- Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting of the fudge squares.
- Opt for high-quality chocolate chips and caramel cubes to enhance the overall flavor profile of the dessert.
- For a gluten-free version, verify that all ingredients are certified gluten-free and substitute regular chips with appropriate alternatives.
