(by Shirley McNevich)

Note: it's very easy to make--just has a lot of steps and waiting in between (but totally worth it).

Layer Two: 1/4 cup butter; 1 cup white sugar; 1/4 cup Carnation evaporated milk (NOT condensed); 1 1/2 cups Fluff marshmallow creme; 1/4 cup Jif smooth peanut butter; 1 tsp. vanilla; 1/1 2 cups chopped salted peanuts

Layer Three: 14oz. Kraft caramels; 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Directions for Layer One: in a saucepan over low heat add 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 1/4 cup butterscotch chips and 1/4 cup Jif smooth peanut butter--cook/stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 cake pan. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until set. Layer Two: in a saucepan over medium heat add butter--melt.
