  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 bars

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup roasted peanuts or almonds
  • 1 cup caramel candies, melted
  • 2 cups chocolate chips or chocolate melting wafers
  • 1/2 cup honey or corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peanut layer: Spread roasted peanuts evenly on a parchment-lined baking dish. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  2. Create caramel layer: Melt caramel candies with a tablespoon of butter and honey in a saucepan over low heat until smooth. Pour over the nuts and spread evenly. Return to the fridge to set for 20 minutes.
  3. Melt the chocolate: Use a stand mixer or microwave-safe bowl to melt chocolate chips until smooth.

  5. Finish and chill: Let the bars set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the caramel and chocolate are fully melted and smooth before pouring.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Customize toppings with crushed candies, sprinkles, or toasted coconut for variety.
