How to Make Homemade Candy Bars

  1. Line a 13x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished bars out easily.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in evaporated milk, graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and brown sugar.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to boil for exactly 5 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
  4. Remove from heat and pour one-third of the caramel mixture into the prepared pan. Spread evenly.
  5. Arrange 25 graham crackers evenly over the caramel layer.
  6. Pour half of the remaining caramel mixture over the crackers, spreading evenly.
  7. Arrange another 25 graham crackers on top.
  8. Pour the remaining caramel mixture over the crackers and spread to cover completely.
  9. Top with the final 25 graham crackers.
  10. In a separate small saucepan, melt peanut butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring until smooth and completely melted.
  11. Spread the melted peanut butter mixture evenly over the top layer of graham crackers.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until completely firm.
  13. Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
