Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Baking Essentials:
- 1 box Ghirardelli brownie mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water
Candy and Topping Ingredients:
- 4 regular sized Snickers bars, chopped
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Baking Equipment:
- 1 9×9 inch baking pan
Instructions
- Craft a delectable 9×9-inch brownie base according to package instructions, ensuring complete cooling for structural integrity.
- Create a luscious nougat layer by thoroughly blending marshmallow fluff and peanut butter until uniformly smooth, utilizing a quick 10-15 second microwave warmup to enhance mixability.
- Spread the nougat mixture evenly across the cooled brownie foundation, maintaining a consistent texture.
- Prepare the caramel component by gently heating caramel and milk/cream in the microwave, whisking intermittently until achieving a silky, pourable consistency.
- Cascade the molten caramel over the nougat layer, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Immediately scatter roasted peanuts across the caramel surface, delicately pressing them to anchor into the warm layer.
- Construct the final chocolate topping by melting chocolate chips and peanut butter together, stirring at regular intervals to prevent scorching and maintain a glossy, integrated mixture.
- Carefully drizzle the chocolate mixture over the peanut-studded caramel layer, allowing the entire dessert to set completely before slicing into decadent squares.
Notes
- Warm up marshmallow fluff briefly in microwave to make mixing and spreading easier, ensuring smooth and even nougat layer.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better blending and consistent texture throughout the brownie layers.
- Chill brownies between layers to help each component set quickly and maintain distinct layered appearance.
- Replace caramel with dairy-free alternative or homemade vegan caramel sauce for lactose-intolerant or vegan dietary needs.
