Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for caramel)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for caramel)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 Butterfinger candy bars, chopped
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  • Prepare the Base:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
    • Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking pan to form the crust.
    • Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool while you prepare the caramel.
  • Make the Caramel Layer:
    • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup of butter and stir in 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
    • Allow the mixture to cook and bubble, stirring constantly, for about 5-7 minutes until it turns a golden caramel color.
    • Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
    • Pour the caramel over the cooled graham cracker crust and spread it evenly. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
  • Add the Butterfinger Layer:
    • Sprinkle the chopped Butterfinger candy bars evenly over the caramel layer.
  • Make the Chocolate Topping:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and peanut butter.
    • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.
    • Pour the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the Butterfinger layer, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  • Chill and Serve:
    • Refrigerate the bars for 1-2 hours, or until fully set.
    • Once set, cut the bars into squares and enjoy!
