Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients to ensure the baking process goes smoothly. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Cook the Base
- In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and kosher salt.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in the room temperature butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine Mixtures
- Carefully add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake the Brownies
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. To check if they’re done, insert a toothpick; if it comes out clean, they are ready.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
Make the Nougat Layer
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the ¼ cup of butter, then mix in 1 cup of sugar and ¼ cup of heavy cream.
- Stir until it reaches a boil, then remove from heat. Mix in the peanut butter, marshmallow fluff, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, followed by the salted peanuts.
Spread the Nougat Mixture
- Spread the nougat mixture evenly over the cooled brownie base.
Prepare the Caramel Topping
- Melt the caramel bits in a saucepan over low heat with ¼ cup heavy whipping cream, stirring until smooth.
- Pour it over the nougat layer, spreading it evenly.
Add the Final Chocolate Layer
- Melt the milk chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, stirring until smooth.
- Pour this layer over the caramel, creating a glossy top.
Chill Before Serving
- Place the entire assembled dish into the fridge to chill for at least 2 hours.
Slice and Enjoy
- Remove the brownies from the fridge and using the parchment paper, pull them out of the pan. Slice into squares.
