  • 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. Arrange remaining crackers in a single layer over the caramel, pushing slightly to secure. 3.For topping, in a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and butterscotch pieces. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes or until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Stir in peanut butter until smooth.

  • 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.
