Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup of Butterscotch or Peanut Butter Chips
  • 3 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • ⅔ cup Peanut Butter divided
  • ¼ cup Evaporated Milk
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • ½ stick of Butter
  • 1 ½ cups Marshmallow Cream
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 package Caramels
  • 1.5 cups Salted Peanuts

Instructions

Preparation of Base Layer:

  • Line a 9×13 baking pan with aluminum foil, ensuring a smooth application. Apply a coating of non-stick cooking spray.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, your choice of butterscotch or peanut butter chips, and half of the divided peanut butter.
  • Melt these ingredients in a microwave, utilizing 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval, until the mixture is uniformly smooth.

Formation of First Layer:

  • Pour half of the melted chocolate mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it to form an even layer.
  • Place the pan in a refrigerator to allow this layer to solidify, while preparing the subsequent layer.

Preparation of Marshmallow-Nut Mixture:

  • In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and evaporated milk.
  • Heat over a medium flame, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the butter has melted.
  • Allow this mixture to reach a boiling state, then maintain the boil for a duration of 5 minutes.
  • After boiling, remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the marshmallow cream, the remaining peanut butter, and the salted peanuts to achieve a homogenous mixture.

Layering of Marshmallow-Nut Mixture:

  • Pour the marshmallow-nut mixture over the set chocolate layer in the baking pan, ensuring an even distribution.
  • Return the pan to the refrigerator to solidify this newly added layer.

Preparation of Caramel Layer:

  • Place the caramels in a separate microwave-safe bowl, adding a tablespoon of water.
  • Melt the caramels in the microwave, stirring periodically. If necessary, add additional water in small increments to achieve the desired consistency.
  • If the reserved chocolate and peanut butter mixture has solidified, gently reheat it in the microwave to restore a spreadable consistency.

Final Layering:

  • Pour the reheated chocolate and peanut butter mixture over the caramel layer in the baking pan, spreading evenly.
  • Refrigerate the baking pan to solidify the entire composition.

Final Preparation and Serving:

  • Once set, use the foil to lift the fudge out of the pan.
  • Cut the fudge into uniform 1-inch squares with a sharp knife.
  • Optionally, place these squares into mini muffin papers for presentation.
  • Serve as desired.
