Cookie Dough Layer

• 1/2 -3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Top chocolate layer
• 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 cup pretzels sticks
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

1. 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.
2. 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. 
3. 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. 
4. 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!
5. 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.
6. 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.

SNICKERS CARAMEL BROWNIE ICE CREAM CAKE

A bit messy? Yup!  A whole lot delish? YUP!  I mean we're having a heat wave you know....tough on an ice cream cake with dripping caramel and chocolate sauce!  Made this with my friend, so learn from us...pour on caramel and chocolate sauces when they are room temp...not hot! lol  Trust me on this one!

Ahead of Time:
Freeze ice cream of your choice (We used this one!) 
in two 8-inch pans lined with nonstick foil hanging over the edges for easy removal.  Freeze until completely firm.

Brownie layers:
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon (3 teaspoons) vanilla extract 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
2 1/4 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 and line two 8-inch pans with nonstick foil. In a large bowl, add 4 eggs, and beat with cocoa, salt, baking powder, and vanilla. Stir until fully combined and smooth. In the microwave, melt butter. When melted, add sugar, and stir to combine. Add warm butter/sugar mixture to the egg/cocoa mixture, stiring until smooth. Add the flour to batter and stir until fully incorporated. Spread batter into prepared pans, and smooth as needed. Bake brownies about 25-30 minutes. Test if done by inserting a toothpick.  You should find moist crumbs. Cool and cut into small bite sized squares. Adapted from King Arthur Flour

Once brownie layers are cool, pour on 1/2c. caramel sauce, 1/2c. chocolate sauce and 4 ounces chopped Snickers to each layer.  When ready to assemble place a brownie layer on a plate, top with an ice cream layer, then the next brownie layer and the final ice cream layer.  Pour on more caramel and chocolate sauce.  Top with 4 Snickers bars...all chopped up!  Cut fast and eat even faster!
