Snickers Fudge!

HOW did I not know this existed??  I came across the recipe on Pinterest and knew I would be making it SOON!!

It takes a little time, just because there are four layers, but it is Very simple!  

* Make sure you get evaporated milk, not sweetened condensed milk!  (I seem to make that mistake every time!!)

• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
•  1 cup milk chocolate chips
• 4 tbsp of butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup evaporated milk
• 1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup of salted peanuts
• 14-oz. bag caramels, unwrapped
• 1/4 cup evaporated milk

Directions:

Coat a 9x13 pan with cooking spray and set aside.

FIRST LAYER:

In a small bowl, combine:

1 cup milk chocolate chips

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Heat in the microwave in two 30-second intervals, stirring after each. Stir until creamy and then pour the mixture in an even layer into the bottom of the prepared pan. Place the pan in the freezer.

SECOND LAYER:

In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. 

Add:

1 cup sugar

1/4 cup evaporated milk

Stir and bring to a boil. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from the heat and add:

1 1/2 cups marshmallow creme

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

Stir until combined.

Add 1 cup of salted peanuts.

Stir until combined. Remove the pan from the freezer and pour the mixture in an even layer over the chocolate layer. Place back in the freezer.

THIRD LAYER:

In a small saucepan, add:

14-oz. bag caramels, unwrapped

1/4 cup evaporated milk

Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel is melted and smooth. 

Remove the pan from the freezer and pour the caramel over the top in an even layer. Place back in the freezer.

FOURTH LAYER:

In a small bowl, combine:

1 cup milk chocolate chips

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Heat in the microwave in two 30-second intervals, stirring after each. Stir until creamy. Remove the pan from the freezer and pour the mixture in an even layer onto the top. Make sure the caramel layer is firm before doing this.

Refrigerate for one hour.  Cut into small squares and serve! Store the uneaten fudge in the fridge. Or the freezer, depending on how addicted you become.

Enjoy!
