Ingredients
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup oil
  • 1 jar marshmallow cream/fluff
  • ½ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1 bag Kraft caramels, unwrapped
  • ¾ cup unsalted peanuts
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs and oil with a spatula until blended. Press the dough evenly into the greased pan.
  2. Bake the blondie layer for approx. 13-15 minutes or until lightly golden and center has set. Cool the blondies completely.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the marshmallow fluff + peanut butter with an electric handheld mixer or whisk vigorously with a spoon. Spread this 'nougat' mixture on top of the blondies in an even layer. Set aside.
  4. Unwrap the caramels and place them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1 minute, then stir. Heat again for 30 seconds, stirring after each round in the microwave, until smooth and melted. (You may need to add a splash of heavy cream or water to the caramel to loosen it up a bit.) Once melted, spread the caramel evenly over the top of the nougat mixture. Top immediately with peanuts.
  5. Allow bars to set for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Store airtight at room temperature for several days.
