Instructions

Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, ¼ cup peanut butter, and butter. Stir gently until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Add Sugar and Evaporated Milk: Stir in the sugar and evaporated milk, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously to prevent burning. Cook for about 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly.
Mix in Marshmallow Crème and Flavorings: Remove the pan from heat and stir in the marshmallow crème, remaining ¼ cup peanut butter, and vanilla extract until fully blended and smooth.
Combine Peanuts: Fold in the chopped salted peanuts, distributing them evenly throughout the fudge mixture.
Prepare Caramel Topping: In a small saucepan, melt the caramel cubes with the heavy cream over low heat, stirring until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Fudge: Pour half of the fudge mixture into a prepared 9×9 inch pan lined with parchment paper. Spread it evenly. Drizzle or spread the melted caramel over the fudge layer.
Add Remaining Fudge Layer: Pour the remaining fudge mixture over the caramel layer and smooth the top with a spatula.
Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm before cutting into 24 pieces for serving.

Notes

Use parchment paper to line your pan for easy removal of the fudge.
Chop peanuts coarsely for a better texture contrast.
Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
For softer fudge, allow it to come to room temperature before serving.
Ensure constant stirring during heating steps to prevent the mixture from burning.
