Indulge in these Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Bars! With a buttery graham cracker crust, caramel filling, and crunchy Butterfinger topping, they’re a perfect treat for candy bar lovers.

 


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the Caramel Layer:

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups chopped Butterfinger candy bars
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed pretzels (optional, for extra crunch)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly combined.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes until set. Let cool slightly.

2. Make the Caramel Layer

  • In a medium saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  • Pour the caramel over the cooled crust, spreading evenly.

3. Add the Topping

  • Sprinkle the chopped Butterfinger candy bars evenly over the caramel layer.
  • If desired, add crushed pretzels for extra crunch.

4. Melt the Chocolate

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  • Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the top of the bars.

5. Chill and Serve

  • Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  • Once firm, cut into squares using a sharp knife warmed in hot water for clean cuts.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to line your baking dish for easy removal and cutting.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for longer storage.
