Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 oz / 283 g) bag Butterfinger Bites, coarsely chopped
- 1 (11 oz / 312 g) bag caramel bits
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 ½ graham crackers
- 2 tbsps milk
- 2 oz / 57 g semi-sweet chocolate (for drizzle)
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with aluminum foil, allowing overhang for easy extraction. Lightly spray the foil with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Base Layering: Construct a solid graham cracker foundation by meticulously fitting and breaking crackers to create a complete, gap-free bottom layer. Distribute mini marshmallows uniformly across the graham cracker base.
- Caramel Infusion: Microwave caramel bits and milk in 30-second intervals, stirring between each cycle until achieving a perfectly smooth, liquid consistency. Pour the molten caramel over the marshmallow layer, allowing slight marshmallow melting for enhanced texture.
- Candy Incorporation: Generously scatter chopped Butterfinger Bites across the caramel surface, gently pressing the candy fragments to anchor them into the sticky landscape.
- Chocolate Finishing: Melt semi-sweet chocolate chips using microwave intervals, stirring until completely liquefied. Artfully drizzle the chocolate over the Butterfinger-embedded layer, creating an elegant design.
- Setting and Serving: Refrigerate for one hour until layers solidify completely. Extract from refrigerator, lift bars using foil edges, and slice into individual servings.
Notes
- Prep Pan Perfectly: Line with foil and non-stick spray to ensure easy bar removal and prevent sticking.
- Arrange Base Carefully: Break graham crackers to create a solid, gap-free foundation for layering ingredients.
- Melt with Patience: Heat caramel and chocolate slowly in short intervals, stirring between each to achieve smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Chill for Setting: Refrigerate bars for exactly one hour to allow layers to solidify and chocolate to set completely before cutting.
