Make brownies. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Prepare Easy Layers Baking Pans with vegetable pan spray.
In a large bowl, prepare brownie mix according to package directions.
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans, filling about 1/4 full. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until brownies are firm to the touch. Cool almost completely in pans.
Carefully loosen bottom and sides of brownies from pan with offset spatula. Remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Make frosting. In a large bowl, beat butter, powdered sugar, milk, vanilla and salt with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Divide frosting in half. Stir in half of the mini chocolate chips and chopped peanuts into half of the frosting.
Assemble cake. Begin layering brownies with frosting, spreading to edges and building up.
Frost the top with plain frosting and lightly crumb coat the sides.
Drizzle caramel down the sides of the tower then top the cake with the remaining chocolate chips and peanuts.
