Description

These homemade peanut butter nougat bars are an upgraded version of a classic candy bar, with every layer thoughtfully refined. But don't worry — you're making candy, not running a factory, so a couple of smart shortcuts are built in: The nougat layer gets its signature pull from marshmallows, and the gooey, peanut-studded layer is made from storebought soft caramels melted down with cream. Make these for your next Halloween party or if you're craving something sweet, salty, and satisfyingly nostalgic.
