Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 6 ½ sheets of graham crackers
Filling
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 (11 oz) bag of caramel bits (or unwrapped caramels)
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 1 (10 oz) bag of coarsely chopped Butterfinger bites
Topping
- 2 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray it generously with cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the bars later.
- Build the layers: Arrange the graham crackers evenly on the bottom of the prepared pan to form the base. Spread the mini marshmallows evenly over the graham crackers.
- Melt caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Pour the melted caramel over the marshmallows, spreading it out evenly.
- Add Butterfinger bites: Sprinkle the coarsely chopped Butterfinger bites evenly on top of the caramel layer, pressing gently to set them in place.
- Chocolate drizzle: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring each time until silky smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the Butterfinger layer in a decorative pattern.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour or until the bars are fully set and firm enough to cut.
- Slice and serve: Once set, lift the bars out using the foil edges and slice into 12 servings. Serve chilled or at room temperature for a delightful dessert.
Notes
- For easier cutting, warm the knife slightly before slicing the bars.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- To make caramel melting smoother, add a little extra milk if necessary, one teaspoon at a time.
- You can substitute Butterfinger bites with any crunchy candy bars if preferred.
