Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer:
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- ¼ cup butterscotch chips
- ¼ cup peanut butter
Marshmallow Layer:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup evaporated milk
- 1 ½ cups marshmallow crème
- ¼ cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups salted peanuts, chopped
Caramel Layer:
- 14 ounces caramel cubes
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Instructions
Step 1: Make the First Chocolate Layer
- Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter together. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. - Spread in Pan:
Spread the melted chocolate mixture evenly in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. - Chill:
Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill until the first chocolate layer sets, about 30 minutes.
Step 2: Prepare the Marshmallow Layer
- Melt the Butter:
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. - Add Sugar and Evaporated Milk:
Stir in the sugar and evaporated milk, and cook until the sugar dissolves. - Boil:
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil for about 3 minutes, then remove from heat. - Mix the Ingredients:
Stir in the marshmallow crème, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and chopped peanuts. Mix until smooth. - Pour Over Chocolate Layer:
Pour the marshmallow mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate layer. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill until the marshmallow layer is set, about 30 minutes.
Step 3: Create the Caramel Layer
- Melt the Caramel:
In a microwave-safe bowl or saucepan, melt the caramel cubes and heavy cream together. Stir until smooth and creamy. - Pour Over Marshmallow Layer:
Pour the caramel layer evenly over the set marshmallow layer. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
Step 4: Add the Final Chocolate Layer
- Melt the Chocolate:
Repeat the process for the first chocolate layer: melt the milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter until smooth. - Spread Over Caramel Layer:
Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the caramel layer. - Chill:
Chill in the refrigerator until the entire dessert is firm, about 2-3 hours.
Notes
- Layering tip: Be sure to let each layer set before adding the next one to keep the layers distinct and prevent mixing.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze the fudge for longer storage.
- Variation: Add more chopped peanuts or drizzle extra caramel on top for a sweeter finish.
- Serving suggestion: Cut the fudge into small squares as it’s quite rich and filling.
