Ingredients

For the Crunch Layer:

• 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Caramel Layer:

• 1 bag (11 oz) soft caramels, unwrapped
• 2 tbsp heavy cream

For the Topping:

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars (about 3 full-size bars)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar until the texture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased or parchment-lined 9×9-inch pan.

Bake for 8–10 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the caramel.

Step 2: Make the Caramel Layer

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the caramels and heavy cream. Stir continuously until smooth and melted — about 5 minutes. Pour the warm caramel evenly over the baked graham crust. Use a spatula to spread it into all corners.

Step 3: Add the Chocolate Topping

Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the hot caramel layer. Let them sit for about 2–3 minutes to soften, then use a spatula to spread the melted chocolate into a smooth layer.

Step 4: Add the Butterfinger Crunch

Immediately sprinkle chopped Butterfinger pieces on top of the melted chocolate layer. Press them down gently so they stick as the chocolate sets.

Step 5: Chill and Slice

Let the bars cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm. Once set, lift out of the pan using parchment paper and cut into squares or bars.

Tips & Tricks

• For extra crunch: Add ¼ cup crushed cornflakes to the graham cracker mixture.
• No Butterfingers? Substitute with any crunchy chocolate candy bar like Crunch, Heath, or even Reese’s Pieces.
• Drizzle caramel: For presentation, melt a few more caramels and drizzle over the top before serving.
• Storage: Keep bars in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Serving Ideas

Serve chilled for a candy-bar-style crunch or slightly warmed for a soft, gooey treat. These bars pair perfectly with vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of caramel sauce, or a sprinkle of sea salt for that sweet-salty combo. They also make great edible gifts — wrap them individually in wax paper and tie with ribbon for a cute homemade touch.
