Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 6 1/2 graham crackers

Filling

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 bag (11 oz) caramel bits
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 1 bag (10 oz) Butterfinger Bites, coarsely chopped

Topping

  • 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with foil, allowing extra foil to hang over the edges for easy removal. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the Base: Arrange the graham crackers at the bottom of the prepared pan, breaking them as necessary to create an even, snug layer.
  3. Add Marshmallows: Evenly spread the mini marshmallows over the graham cracker base to create the second layer.
  4. Melt Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and milk. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
  5. Pour and Spread Caramel: Drizzle the melted caramel evenly over the marshmallow layer. Spread gently to cover. The heat will slightly soften the marshmallows, which enhances the texture.
  6. Butterfinger Layer: Sprinkle the chopped Butterfinger pieces over the caramel layer, pressing them lightly to help them adhere.
  7. Melt Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth.
  8. Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle the melted chocolate artistically over the Butterfinger candy layer for added flavor and a decorative finish.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the pan for approximately one hour, or until the bars are firmly set and easy to cut.
  10. Slice and Enjoy: Use the foil edges to lift the dessert out of the pan. Cut into bars and serve immediately, enjoying the combination of crunchy, chewy, and chocolatey flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh mini marshmallows for the best texture and sweetness.
  • Press the Butterfinger pieces gently into the caramel to ensure they stick well.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep bars firm and fresh.
  • For easier cutting, use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried before slicing.
  • Classic graham crackers can be substituted with honey or cinnamon flavored varieties for a twist.
