**Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan:**
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
**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.
**Bake the Brownies:**
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan.
**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.
**Chill and Cut:**
- Place the brownies in the fridge for about 1 hour to allow the layers to set.
- Once set, use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan and cut them into squares.
