Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 6 1/2 graham crackers
Marshmallow Layer
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
Caramel Layer
- 1 bag (11 oz) caramel bits
- 2 Tbsp milk
Butterfinger Layer
- 1 bag (10 oz) Butterfinger Bites, coarsely chopped
Chocolate Drizzle
- 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with foil, ensuring the foil hangs over the edges to make removal easier. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Layer the Base: Arrange the graham crackers at the bottom of the pan, breaking them as needed to create a snug, even layer.
- Add Marshmallows: Evenly distribute the mini marshmallows over the layer of graham crackers to create a soft, sweet layer.
- Melt Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits with 2 tablespoons of milk. Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
- Pour and Spread Caramel: Drizzle the melted caramel over the marshmallows and gently spread it to cover evenly. Expect the marshmallows to soften slightly, which is normal.
- Butterfinger Layer: Scatter the coarsely chopped Butterfinger Bites evenly over the caramel layer, pressing them lightly into the sticky caramel to help them adhere.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
- Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle the melted chocolate artistically over the Butterfinger layer, adding an attractive final touch.
- Chill: Refrigerate the bars for about 1 hour or until the layers are well set and firm enough to slice.
- Slice and Enjoy: Use the foil overhang to lift the bars out of the pan, cut into individual bars, and serve.
Notes
- Be sure to use a microwave-safe bowl for melting both caramel and chocolate to prevent any accidents.
- Lightly spraying the foil helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- You can substitute Butterfinger Bites with other crunchy candy bars if desired.
- Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- If you want softer bars, allow them to come to room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
