### Directions:

2. **Make the Brownie Base:**
– In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar until combined. Let it cool slightly.
– Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
– In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
– Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
– Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
3. **Bake the Brownies:**

4. **Assemble the Snickers Layer:**
– Once the brownies have cooled, pour the caramel sauce evenly over the top.
– Sprinkle the chopped Snickers bars and peanuts over the caramel layer.
– Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the Snickers and caramel layer.
