Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan thoroughly and line it with foil, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch or peanut butter chips, and half of the peanut butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Pour half of the melted mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Chill for about 30 minutes until firm.
  4. In a saucepan, combine butter, granulated sugar, and evaporated milk over medium heat. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves, then boil gently for 2 minutes.
  5. Remove from heat and mix in marshmallow cream, remaining peanut butter, and salted peanuts until combined.
  6. Pour the warm caramel mixture over the chilled fudge base and return to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  7. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramels with a splash of water. Microwave until smooth, about 1-2 minutes in total.
  8. Pour the melted caramel over the chilled caramel layer and spread out evenly. Chill again for at least 20 minutes.
  9. Melt the remaining chocolate-peanut butter mixture for the top layer and pour over the caramel layer. Smooth out and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  10. Lift the fudge from the pan using the foil overhang, cut into squares, and serve.
