Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Bars

Ingredients:

  • 1 (12 oz) box Butterfinger Bites or about 8 full-size Butterfinger bars, chopped
  • 1 sleeve (about 9) graham crackers, crushed (about 1¼ cups crumbs)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1½ cups crushed pretzels (for salty crunch)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (11 oz) bag caramel bits (or 1½ cups soft caramels, unwrapped)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream or milk
  • 1½ cups milk chocolate chips (or semi-sweet if preferred)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil (for melting chocolate)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Prep the Base

  • Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or foil and lightly spray with non-stick spray.

2. Make the Crunch Layer

  • In a large bowl, mix:
    • Graham cracker crumbs
    • Crushed pretzels
    • Melted butter
    • Mini marshmallows
    • Half of the chopped Butterfingers
  • Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

3. Caramel Layer

  • In a small saucepan, melt the caramel bits with heavy cream over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
  • Pour the caramel over the graham-pretzel base. Spread evenly.

4. Chocolate Topping

  • Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth (microwave in 30-sec bursts or use a double boiler).
  • Pour the chocolate over the caramel layer and smooth it out.

5. Top It Off

  • Immediately sprinkle the remaining chopped Butterfingers on top.
  • Lightly press them into the chocolate so they stick.

6. Chill & Set

  • Refrigerate for 2 hours or until fully set.
  • Cut into squares or bars once firm.

📝 Storage:

  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Can be frozen for up to 2 months (separate layers with parchment).
