Preparation Steps
  1. Start by lining a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each cupcake liner and smooth it out. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes until set.
  4. In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and water. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted.
  5. Spoon a generous amount of melted caramel on top of the chocolate layer in each cup.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix until thick and spreadable.
  7. Spoon the peanut butter mixture over the caramel layer in each cup, smoothing it out evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the rough chopped peanuts over the peanut butter layer.
  9. Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter and peanuts, smoothing it out.
  10. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until set. Carefully remove cups from the liners.
