Debbie's Notes:
This is a too die for dessert. Try eating just one it won't happen. Has a few steps but so worth it.
 
Comments from the Test Kitchen:
This one packs a real flavor punch. Admittedly, it took a few members of the Kitchen Crew a taste or two to make sense of the flavors, but we succeeded in devouring the rest of the batch in short order. It's now become a kitchen favorite. Pecans or cashews would be good in this as well - Give it a try!

Haven't tried this yet, but was wondering if I could alter the recipe to make a peanut butter layer instead of the caramel layer. Any thoughts? I feel like I would have to do something more than just substitute peanut butter morsels for the vanilla ones.

Try 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter in the bottom layer, using peanut butter chips. I do a similar peanut butter fudge recipe that way, and it always get compliments.

Thanks, Sharon. Deborah's idea sounded good to me too. I'm a huge Reese's fan so always looking for ways to mix peanut butter and chocolate..

Sharon, you are saying using both peanut butter and the peanut butter chips? Will that go well with the brown sugar or should regular sugar be used instead? I wasn't sure how that would together.
