Homemade Snickers

This recipe looks complicated, but it's fairly simple! You can make them as "pretty" as you want, but they taste the same - picture perfect or rough and uneven!

1 c. chocolate chips
1/4 c. butterscotch chips
1/4 c. peanut butter
      Heat in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth and melted. Pour into a waxed paper-lined pan (can also use plastic wrap). Stick pan in fridge or freezer to set.

4 T. butter
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. evaporated milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 c. peanut butter
1 1/2 c. marshmallow fluff
     Combine butter, sugar and milk in a small pot. Heat on low until mixture melts, mixes, and starts to bubble. Stir as necessary. Remove from heat and add vanilla, peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. Stir all ingredients together until melted and smoothly combined, then let it cool slightly. Pour evenly on top of chocolate later and  place back in freezer to set.

1/4 c. evaporated milk
1 1/2 T. butter
1 lb. chewy caramels
1 1/2 c. peanuts, coarsely chopped
     Combine milk, butter and caramels in a small pot. Heat on low until caramels have melted into milk and butter. Add peanuts and pour over nougat layer and place back in the freezer.

1 c. chocolate chips
1/4 c. butterscotch chips
1/4 c. peanut butter
     Melt and pour over caramel layer. Chill.

When bars are set, invert pan onto a cutting board. Trim edges and cut into even sized bars. If desired, dip edges of bars into another batch of chocolate mixture and cool.
