Description

Butterfinger Caramel Bars are quick, no-bake dessert bars that layer marshmallows, graham crackers, gooey caramel, and pieces of Butterfinger candy, all finished with a chocolate drizzle. Easy to make in just minutes using the microwave, they offer a rich, satisfying treat perfect for parties, bake sales, or whenever you crave something sweet and crunchy.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 6 1/2 graham crackers

Marshmallow Layer

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Caramel Layer

  • 1 (11 oz) bag caramel bits
  • 2 Tbsp milk

Topping

  • 1 (10 oz) bag Butterfinger Bites, coarsely chopped
  • 2 oz semi-sweet chocolate (for drizzle)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 baking pan with foil, letting the foil hang over the edges for easy removal. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer the Graham Crackers: Arrange the graham crackers on the bottom of the pan, breaking them as needed to fit in an even layer.
  3. Add Marshmallows: Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the graham crackers, covering the surface completely.
  4. Melt the Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and milk. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
  5. Pour Caramel over Marshmallows: Immediately pour the melted caramel over the marshmallows. Gently spread it with a spatula to coat the marshmallows evenly. The marshmallows will start to melt slightly, which is expected; just ensure the caramel is spread across the entire surface for cohesion.
  6. Add Butterfinger Topping: Sprinkle the chopped Butterfinger Bites over the warm caramel-marshmallow layer. Press the pieces in gently with your hands or a spatula so they stick into the soft caramel.
  7. Melt and Drizzle Chocolate: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the Butterfinger layer using a spoon or piping bag.
  8. Chill to Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the bars are set and firm enough to cut.
  9. Serve: Once set, use the overhanging foil to lift the bars from the pan. Cut into squares or bars and serve at room temperature.

Notes

  • For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe between slices.
  • Store Butterfinger Caramel Bars at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Bars can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before serving.
  • Substitute regular chocolate bars or other candy if you don’t have Butterfinger Bites.
