Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) melted butter
Filling:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup (240 grams) crushed Butterfinger candy bars
- 1 cup (170 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) chopped pecans or walnuts
Topping:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) caramel sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the foundation by heating the oven to 350F (175C). Create a non-stick surface in an 8-inch baking pan using cooking spray or parchment paper.
- Craft the base by blending graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until uniformly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the pan’s bottom, creating a compact layer.
- Distribute sweetened condensed milk evenly across the graham cracker foundation, ensuring complete coverage.
- Generously scatter crushed Butterfinger pieces, chocolate chips, and optional chopped nuts across the milk-covered surface.
- Elegantly drizzle caramel sauce over the layered ingredients, allowing it to weave between the toppings.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven, baking for 20-25 minutes until the edges transform into a golden-brown hue and the toppings melt into a decadent landscape.
- Remove from oven and let the bars cool completely within the pan, allowing the layers to set and solidify.
- Once thoroughly cooled, slice into square portions, revealing the luxurious layers of sweet indulgence.
Notes
- Use a food processor or rolling pin to crush graham crackers into fine, even crumbs for a perfectly uniform base that holds together beautifully.
- Replace Butterfinger with other chopped candy bars like Snickers or Crunch for a personalized twist that keeps the recipe exciting.
- Substitute graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free cookie crumbs or almond flour to make the dessert accessible for those with dietary restrictions.
- Warm the caramel sauce slightly before drizzling to ensure smooth, even distribution across the bar’s surface and prevent clumping.
