 Ingredients List

  • 3/4 cup butter, cubed and softened
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • CANDY BAR TOPPING:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup 2% milk
  • 1 cup marshmallow creme
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2-1/2 cups dry roasted peanuts, divided
  • 40 caramels
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1-1/4 cups (7-1/2 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

 Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 13x9-in. baking pan with foil, letting ends extend up sides; coat foil with cooking spray.
Microwave butter, sugar and water on high just until mixture comes to a boil, 3-4 minutes; stir until blended. Stir in chocolate chips until melted. Whisk in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla until blended. Stir in flour and baking powder.
Spread into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 18-20 minutes. Cool 30 minutes.
For topping, combine sugar, butter and milk in a large saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring constantly, over medium heat. Boil 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in marshmallow creme, 1/4 cup peanut butter and vanilla; pour over brownies. Sprinkle with 2 cups peanuts.
In a small saucepan, combine caramels and water; cook, stirring, over medium-high heat until blended. Pour over peanuts.
Microwave chocolate chips on high until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in remaining peanut butter until smooth; pour over caramel layer. Chop remaining peanuts; sprinkle on top. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
Lifting with foil, remove brownies from pan. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
