Deliciously indulgent Butterfinger Caramel Bars featuring a crunchy graham cracker base layered with gooey marshmallows, smooth caramel, chopped Butterfinger bites, and a drizzle of rich semi-sweet chocolate. Perfect for a sweet treat or party dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 6 1/2 graham crackers

Layers

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 bag (11 oz) caramel bits
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 1 bag (10 oz) Butterfinger Bites, coarsely chopped

Topping

  • 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with foil, letting the foil hang over the edges to allow easy removal later. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the Base: Arrange the graham crackers at the bottom of the pan, breaking pieces if necessary to fit snugly and create an even crust layer.
  3. Add Marshmallows: Evenly sprinkle the mini marshmallows over the graham cracker base to create the next layer.
  4. Melt Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and milk. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until the caramel is completely melted and smooth.
  5. Pour and Spread Caramel: Drizzle the melted caramel evenly over the marshmallows. Spread gently to cover them, allowing the marshmallows to soften slightly, which enhances the chewy texture.
  6. Butterfinger Layer: Scatter the coarsely chopped Butterfinger bites on top of the caramel layer. Press them lightly into the sticky mixture so they adhere well.
  7. Melt Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt it by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
  8. Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle the melted chocolate artistically over the Butterfinger layer to add rich flavor and visual appeal.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled bars for about an hour or until the layers are fully set and firm.
  10. Slice and Enjoy: Use the foil overhang to lift the bars out of the pan easily. Cut into squares and serve as a deliciously indulgent treat that’s ready to disappear fast!

Notes

  • Use foil extending beyond pan edges to easily remove bars once set.
  • Press Butterfinger pieces gently into caramel to ensure they stick and don’t fall off.
  • Microwave melting times may vary; heat in short bursts to avoid scorching chocolate or caramel.
  • Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Optional: Swap Butterfinger for other crunchy candy bars like Heath or Skor for different flavor twists.
