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 Crunchy Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger candy bars and crispy rice cereal. Mix them together evenly to create the crunchy base of the bars.
- Melt Butter and Caramel: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and caramel sauce together, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Mix Caramel with Cereal: Pour the warm caramel mixture over the crispy cereal and Butterfinger mixture. Stir well to ensure all the cereal and candy bits are coated thoroughly with the caramel.
- Press into Baking Dish: Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Transfer the mixture into the dish and firmly press it down to form an even layer.
- Melt Chocolate and Spread: Melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Immediately spread the melted chocolate evenly over the pressed mixture in the baking dish.
- Chill and Set: Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour to allow them to set and firm up. Once chilled, cut into squares and serve your delicious Butterfinger caramel crunch bars.
Notes
- Ensure the butter and caramel sauce are melted over low heat to avoid burning.
- Use fresh crispy rice cereal for the best crunch.
- Press the mixture firmly into the baking dish to help the bars hold together.
- Allow the bars to chill fully before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
