Ingredients

For the biscuit base

  • 350 g gluten free digestive biscuits shortbread or other biscuits would work too
  • 165 g butter melted

For the caramel

  • 200 g caster sugar or granulated
  • 90 g butter softened to room temperature
  • 120 ml double cream
  • pinch of salt
  • 150 g roasted peanuts ensure they are gluten free

For the topping

  • 250 g chocolate milk or dark would work
  • 50 g smooth peanut butter ideally a creamier one
  • chopped nuts
  • 1-3 Snickers bars

Instructions

  • Firstly make your base. In a food processor, blitz your biscuits into a crumb-like texture. If you don't have a food processor you can bash them with a rolling pin as well! You do want quite a fine consistency for this though.
  • Pour your melted butter into your crushed biscuits and mix together in a bowl.
  • Spoon your mixture into a loose bottom fluted tart tin (mine was 23cm across) and then using the back of a spoon and also your hands, press the mixture into the tin - both into the base and up the sides. Try to get it as even and flat as you can.
  • Chill this in the fridge for around 30 minutes - 1 hour. Whilst this is happening you can sort out your caramel.
  • To make your caramel, add your sugar to a saucepan on a medium heat. Stir the sugar continuously and it will gradually become a more of a golden, amber coloured liquid.
  • Once completely melted, add in your butter and stir for a couple of minutes continuously until the butter has melted.
  • Whilst continuing to mix all the time on the heat, slowly pour in your double cream. Don't worry that it bubbles lots! Once all added, allow to boil for about a minute before removing from the heat.
  • If you want to add salt, do this now and then allow to cool.
  • Once cooled, add in your roasted peanuts and mix to combine. Your caramel should be a thick, pourable consistency. If it's too thick, just warm it up slightly. Pour the caramel onto your biscuit base and allow to chill briefly so that the caramel can set.
  • To make your topping, melt together your peanut butter and chocolate over a bain marie or in the microwave until completely melted. If in a microwave, melt it in 20-30 second bursts and them stir to stop the chocolate from burning.
  • Pour your melted chocolate over the caramel so it evenly covers it. I used my pallet knife to swirl the chocolate too.
  • Sprinkle on some chopped nuts and finish with slices of snickers bars, then allow the chocolate to set in the fridge for ideally no less than a couple of hours.
  • Slice up and enjoy!

Notes

Store this dessert in the fridge as it has fresh cream in it :)
