INGREDIENTS

• Graham crackers: 6 ½ sheets, crushed for the base layer
• Mini marshmallows: 2 cups, for the gooey marshmallow layer
• Caramel bits: 11 oz, melted with milk for the rich caramel layer
• Milk: 2 tablespoons, to help melt the caramel bits
• Butterfinger bites: 10 oz, coarsely chopped for crunch and flavor
• Semi-sweet chocolate: 2 oz, melted for drizzling on top

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:

Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with foil, leaving extra foil over the edges for easy removal. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray.

Step 2:

Crush the graham crackers and press them into an even layer at the bottom of the pan to create the base.

Step 3:

Spread the mini marshmallows evenly over the graham cracker base.

Step 4:

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the caramel bits and milk for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.

Step 5:

Pour the melted caramel over the marshmallow layer, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 6:

Sprinkle the chopped Butterfinger bites over the caramel layer, pressing them down lightly to ensure they stick.

Step 7:

Drizzle the melted semi-sweet chocolate over the top of the Butterfinger layer for a finishing touch.

Step 8:

Place the pan in the refrigerator and chill for about 1 hour, or until the bars are firm and set.

Step 9:

Once firm, use the foil overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares and serve.

Serving and Storage Tips

• For the best texture, allow the bars to chill until they are firm before cutting into squares.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Helpful Notes

• If you want a thicker chocolate drizzle, feel free to use additional melted chocolate.
• To make the bars extra gooey, you can add an extra layer of caramel on top before adding the Butterfinger bites.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

• For a more professional finish, try sprinkling sea salt on top of the chocolate drizzle to balance out the sweetness.
