Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 2 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the crushed Butterfinger candy bars and crispy rice cereal evenly to distribute the crunchy and flavorful pieces.
- Melt Butter and Caramel: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter together with the caramel sauce, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Mix Caramel and Cereal: Pour the warm caramel mixture over the cereal and Butterfinger mixture, stirring thoroughly to coat all the dry ingredients evenly with the sticky caramel.
- Press Mixture into Pan: Transfer the combined mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, pressing firmly and evenly to form a compact layer.
- Melt Chocolate and Spread: Melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave in short intervals, stirring between each until smooth, then spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top of the pressed mixture.
- Chill and Set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the bars to set. Once firm, cut into 12 squares and serve.
Notes
- Use fresh Butterfinger candy bars for the best crunch and flavor.
- If caramel sauce is too thick, gently warm it to make it easier to mix.
- Press mixture firmly to ensure bars hold together when cut.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and crunchy.
- For a nutty variation, consider adding chopped peanuts or almonds to the cereal mixture.
