Chocolate Base

1. Grease 9x13 baking pan. Using a double-boiler, slowly melt the chocolate. Once smooth, add peanut butter and blend evenly.
2. Cover the bottom of the pan with the chocolate mixture and allow to cool + harden.

Nougat and Nuts*

4. Remove from burner and add the peanuts until fully combined. To form the nougat + nuts layer, pour the mixture over the chocolate layer and allow to cool at room temperature.

5. Cut butter into tablespoon pieces and melt evenly over medium heat.
