Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Pan
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment.
Step 2: Make the Chocolate Base
In a saucepan over low heat, combine semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and peanut butter. Stir until smooth and melted. Pour half into the prepared dish, spread evenly, and chill.
Step 3: Create the Nougat Layer
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in sugar and evaporated milk. Bring to a boil, cook 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in marshmallow fluff, peanut butter, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in peanuts. Pour over the chilled chocolate, spread evenly.
Step 4: Add the Caramel
Combine caramel bits and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until melted and smooth. Pour over the nougat, spread evenly.
Step 5: Top with Chocolate
Reheat the remaining chocolate mixture over low heat until smooth. Pour over the caramel, spread evenly.
Step 6: Chill and Enjoy!
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until firm. Lift out using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
