Ingredients
  

Bottom Layer

  • 1 ¼ cups milk chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter

Nougat layer

  • ¼ cup butter
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups marshmallow fluff
  • 1 cup salted peanuts chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Caramel

  • 1 14- ounce bag of caramels
  • ¼ cup heavy cream

Cookie Dough Layer

  • 1 ½ 3/4 cup sticks butter
  • ⅔ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ -3/4 cup mini chocolate chips

Top chocolate layer

  • 1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup pretzels sticks
  • ½ cup chocolate chips melted

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9x13 inch pan with nonstick foil and let some hang over the edges. Melt 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips with 1/4-cup peanut butter in microwave, then pour into the baking dish and spread until even. Place in the freezer a few mins until set.
  • Make the nougat layer. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in sugar and milk, stirring until dissolved and bring to a boil. Let cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add in marshmallow fluff and vanilla, stirring until smooth. Turn off heat and fold in peanuts, then pour over bottom chocolate layer. Place in freezer until firm.
  • Make the caramel layer. Combine the caramels and cream in the microwave until smooth. Pour over nougat layer and stick back in freezer until firm.
  • Make the cookie dough. Beat butter,  add the brown sugar, cream, vanilla. Beat until combined, fluffy and light in color. Beat in the flour and salt until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Spread the cookie dough over the caramel layer gently with an offset spatula and yes, back into the freezer!
  • Melt 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips with 1/4-cup peanut butter in microwave. Pour over cookie dough and spread until even. Sprinkle with the pretzels and drizzle with the remaining melted chocolate. Let cool and harden completely.
  • Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving, then cut as desired. I had some trouble cutting these and many of my pretzels came off. Next time I will cut the bars and THEN drizzle each individual one with chocolate and "attach" the pretzels.

 These bars are pure insanity!!!!!! Beyond amazing and a real show stopper!!!!

 

THIS INSANE RECIPE COMES FROM HALF BAKED HARVEST!

    At step 5,it should say “Melt 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips with 1/4-cup peanut butter in microwave. Pour over the cookie dough and spread until even. Sprinkle with the pretzels and drizzle with the remaining melted chocolate. Let cool and harden completely.”

    In the Cookie dough snickers bar with salted pretzels have to be baked at some point since the cookie dough contains flour

          You’re “supposed” to cook flour, because it contains the eggs of various types of bugs, and it has the potential to contain bacteria. There’s no way to avoid it, all flour has it, unless it is heat treated.

      nope…only have to cook if there’s EGG…….but then again, they teach us nowadays to NEVER eat raw dough with eggs in them, however, I’m usually not hungry for whatever I baked when it’s done due to eating some of the raw dough…shame on me & shame on sharing this yummy goodness with my kids risking them tummy ailments. (Personally, I think it’s worth the risk, since there has rarely been anything baked that tastes as good as it’s dough! lol)

    These were a hit. I try to make 1 of your desserts every other week to try them. This one by far has had the most votes. Also, the person wondering about baking this recipe and wanting to bake it, definitely did not read the name of this dessert. It says ‘cookie dough’ for a reason!!!!;) Keep up the amazing recipes.

    Okay. I tried making this (because I so DESPERATELY WANT TO!) and after following the recipe to a T, the nougat layer totally turns brown and burns after a few mins of boiling the sugar and milk with the melted butter – and when the fluff is added, it also becomes brown. And then it turns totally hard when cooled. Like a thick top sugar layer of a creme brulee. I even tried making this twice and then got so flustered I gave up. Can you help?!

      Sounds like you are cooking it on way too high of a heat-try a lower setting. 🙂

    Which recipe is correct. I saw one with coconut milk and now its not on there. Then one says to melt the butter and one says to beat the butter?

    I have made this 3 times. Each time the nougat layer runs out when I cut it. I keep it in the freezer until I cut it so this doesn’t happen. The minute I cut it it runs out. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
