  • 1/4
    cup milk

    cups sifted powdered sugar

Directions

1. Line a 9x9x2-inch pan with foil, extending over edges; set aside. In a microwave-safe bowl micro-cook butter, uncovered, on 100 percent power (high) for 45 seconds to 2 minutes or until melted. Stir in cocoa powder, brown sugar, and milk. Cook, uncovered, on high for 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil, stirring once. Stir again. Cook for 1 minute more. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla. Spread into pan.

2. In a glass bowl combine caramels and the water. Cook, uncovered, on 50 percent power (medium) 3-1/2 to 5 minutes or until melted, stirring once. Stir in nuts; spread over fudge.

3. In a 2-cup glass measure micro-cook chocolate on 50 percent power (medium) for 2 to 3 minutes or until melted, stirring once. Spread atop caramel. Chill until chocolate is firm. Remove from pan; cut into squares. Serve at room temperature. Store in refrigerator. Makes 64 pieces.

Maybe I did something wrong. The bottom of the candy bar did not set at all there was too many peanuts and not enough carmel. So I tried it again.I added more carmels that was fine but the bottom was still very mushy. Can anyone tell me what went wrong? Thanks

This was a very good recipe....everyone loved it, and the chocolate on top set up nice, so they are stackable and good for gift giving. I used cashews instead of peanuts for a richer taste. It's a keeper recipe!
