1/3 cup butterscotch-flavored pieces
1/3 cup peanut butter

Steps:

Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with nonstick foil, extending foil over the edges of the pan. Arrange half of the crackers in a single layer over the bottom of the prepared pan. In a medium saucepan combine butter, honey, brown sugar, and cream. Bring to boiling, stirring constantly. Add graham cracker crumbs, reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook mixture for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon of the sea salt. 2.Pour half of the caramel mixture over the crackers in the prepared pan, spreading to cover. Sprinkle with chopped peanut butter cups and peanuts. Pour remaining caramel over.

Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes or until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in peanut butter until smooth.

Using the edges of the foil, lift the uncut bars out of the pan. Cut into 32 or 40 squares.

Tips:

Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars.
Use a variety of crackers to create different flavors and textures. Graham crackers, Ritz crackers, and saltine crackers are all good options.
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop over low heat.
Stir the melted butter and sugar together until the sugar is dissolved.
Press the cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Bake the cracker crust for 10-15 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
While the crust is baking, make the caramel filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until the caramel has thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla extract.
Pour the caramel filling over the baked cracker crust and spread it out evenly.
Return the baking pan to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbly and set.
Remove the baking pan from the oven and let it cool completely.
Once the bars are cool, cut them into squares and serve.
