Homemade Snicker Bars-Sharla's recipe

These look like they are to die for! They are from Sharla at My Little Gems who posts some of the best recipes:

1st LAYER:
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
MELT together the first layer ingredients in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Spread in lightly greased 9 by 13 inch glass pan. Put in fridge to cool.
FILLING:
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 and a 1/2 cups marshmallow cream
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 and a 1/2 cup salted peanuts, chopped (I omitted this)
Melt butter in sauce pan on medium high heat, add sugar and milk and bring to a boil. Stir for 5 minutes. Mixture will start to follow your spoon before you add the other ingredients. If it is grainy looking (mine was not) you can use your beater to blend it and smooth it out. Remove from stove and stir in marshmallow cream, peanut butter and vanilla and peanuts. Mix until smooth. Spread over the first layer.
CARAMEL LAYER:
1 14oz. bag of Kraft caramels
1/4 cup whipping cream (you can use 1/8 -1/4 cup milk, but it won't be as thick)
Unwrap and melt the caramels w/ the cream in the microwave stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Pour over filling layer.
ICING/TOP LAYER:
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/4 cup butterscotch chips
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
Melt together in microwave stirring every 30 seconds. Spread evenly on top.
Store in the fridge until cooled. Cut into bars,and now you have made homemade snickers candy bars! Rich, delicious, a perfectly fun treat for you!
