Yield: 12 bars<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, divided<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 tablespoons plus \u00bc cup creamy peanut butter, divided<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 7-oz. container marshmallow fluff<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup confectioners\u2019 sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00be cup unsalted, roasted peanuts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 stick margarine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 cups light brown sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\u00bc cups canned full-fat coconut milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1\u00bd cups corn syrup<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Line an 8\u201dx8\u201d baking pan with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place a pan with water over high heat and allow to boil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place a glass or metal bowl over the top of the pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour 1 cup chocolate chips and 3 tablespoons peanut butter in the bowl and melt until smooth, stirring frequently. (If you prefer, you can microwave it instead, checking every 25 seconds to prevent burning.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour melted chocolate into baking dish and spread out into a smooth, even layer. Place in the freezer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a medium mixing bowl, combine marshmallow fluff, \u00bc cup peanut butter, and confectioners\u2019 sugar to create nougat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove pan from freezer. Using your hands, push down nougat onto the chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distribute peanuts evenly on top of the nougat and gently press the peanuts so they are \u201cstuck\u201d in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attach a candy thermometer to a saucepan so that the end is near the bottom but not resting on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add margarine to the pan and melt over medium-high heat. Add light brown sugar and stir until incorporated and melted. Add corn syrup and coconut milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring to a boil and continue to cook, stirring constantly until candy thermometer reads 235\u00b0F, the soft-ball stage. (Be patient; this process could take around 15\u201320 minutes.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allow caramel to cool for 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour caramel over nougat and smooth with a spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Place pan in the freezer for 1 hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Melt remaining chocolate chips and peanut butter (see above).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour over caramel and place pan in the fridge until hardened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a sharp knife to cut into squares.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
