How to Make Sneaky Snickers Bars

  1. Combine 1 cup unwrapped caramels and 1/3 cup milk in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup milk, 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter, 1 cup all-purpose flour, and 1 cup chopped peanuts.
  3. Press half of the dough mixture into a greased 13x9-inch baking pan.
  4. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 6 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Spread the melted caramel mixture evenly over the chocolate chips. Crumble the remaining dough mixture over the top.
  7. Bake for an additional 15 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the caramel to set before cutting into bars.
