Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs – finely ground for a stable crust
- 1/2 cup melted butter – salted or unsalted, to hold the crust together
- 1 cup chocolate chips – semi-sweet or milk chocolate for a rich layer of chocolate
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk – adds sweetness and gooeyness to the bars
- 1 cup caramel sauce – either homemade or store-bought, for a rich caramel layer
- 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars – for that iconic, crunchy topping
Substitution Suggestions:
- Graham crackers: Substitute with gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free option.
- Chocolate chips: Use dark chocolate chips if you prefer a less sweet, richer flavor.
- Butterfinger: Substitute with any favorite crunchy candy if Butterfinger isn’t available.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). A preheated oven ensures even baking.
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium-sized bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan to form the crust.
- Layer the Chocolate Chips: Sprinkle a generous layer of chocolate chips over the crust, spreading them evenly so every bite has chocolate.
- Pour the Sweetened Condensed Milk: Drizzle sweetened condensed milk over the chocolate layer. This step adds gooeyness and sweetness, binding all the layers together.
- Add the Caramel Sauce: Drizzle caramel sauce on top of the condensed milk, using a spatula to ensure an even coating. This will give each bar a layer of creamy caramel goodness.
- Top with Butterfinger Crunch: Finally, sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy bars over the top, pressing down gently to ensure they stick to the caramel layer.
- Bake: Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the caramel layer is bubbling.
- Cool and Slice: Let the bars cool completely in the pan before slicing them. For cleaner cuts, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cutting.
