Ingredients:
For the Crunchy Base:
4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup granulated sugar
1½ cups creamy peanut butter
For the Caramel Layer:
1 (14 oz) bag of caramels, unwrapped
1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
4 tbsp unsalted butter
For the Chocolate Topping:
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil
For the Butterfinger Crumble:
4 full-size Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
Instructions:
- Prepare the Pan:
Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Set aside. - Make the Crunchy Base:
In a medium saucepan, combine corn syrup and sugar over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to bubble. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter until smooth.
Quickly mix in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula or your hands (lightly greased to avoid sticking). Set aside to cool. - Create the Gooey Caramel Layer:
In a separate saucepan, combine the unwrapped caramels, sweetened condensed milk, and butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramels are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Pour the caramel evenly over the cooled cereal base, smoothing it out with a spatula. Allow it to cool and set for 15–20 minutes. - Make the Chocolate Topping:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
Pour the chocolate over the caramel layer and gently spread it out with a spatula until even. - Finish with Butterfinger Magic:
Immediately sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger bars over the melted chocolate layer, pressing down gently so the pieces stick. Let the bars set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results (about 1 hour). - Slice and Serve:
Once fully set, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper. Cut into squares or rectangles. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
🍫 These bars are crunchy, chewy, gooey, and downright irresistible. The layers of texture and flavor—plus that nostalgic Butterfinger crunch—make them a top-rated dessert perfect for sharing (or not!).
