Butterfinger Caramel Bars Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 6 1/2 graham crackers
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 (11 oz) bag caramel bits
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 (10 oz) bag Butterfinger Bites, coarsely chopped
  • 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate (for drizzle)

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Pan
    • Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with foil, allowing the foil to hang over the edges for easy removal. Spray the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the Graham Crackers and Marshmallows
    • Place the graham crackers in an even layer at the bottom of the pan, breaking them as needed to fit.
    • Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the graham crackers.
  3. Make the Caramel Layer
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel bits and milk together for 1 minute. Stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
    • Pour the melted caramel over the marshmallows, spreading it gently and evenly. The marshmallows will melt slightly from the heat of the caramel, which is perfectly fine. Ensure the caramel coats the graham crackers to help the layers stick together.
  4. Add the Butterfinger Bites
    • Sprinkle the coarsely chopped Butterfinger Bites on top of the caramel and marshmallow mixture. Press them down gently to help them stick to the caramel layer.
  5. Drizzle with Chocolate
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
    • Drizzle the melted chocolate over the Butterfinger layer using a spoon or fork, creating a decorative finish.
  6. Chill and Set
    • Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill the bars for 1 hour, or until they are fully set and firm to the touch.
  7. Cut and Serve
    • Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the overhanging foil. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes:

  • Easy Removal Tip: Lining the pan with foil not only makes it easy to lift out the bars but also helps with quick and simple cleanup.
  • Graham Cracker Base: Make sure the graham crackers are placed in an even layer to ensure a sturdy base for the bars. You may need to break some of the crackers to fit the pan properly.
  • Storage: Store these bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well, so you can enjoy them whenever you have a craving for something sweet.
