Ingredients:
- 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 4 bars)
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as peanuts or almonds)
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger candy bars, graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
- Press into Pan:
- Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create an even layer.
- Add the Condensed Milk:
- Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the crust, spreading it out with a spatula.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Combine with Caramel:
- Once melted, stir in the caramel sauce until fully combined. If desired, add the chopped nuts for extra crunch.
- Pour Over the Base:
- Pour the chocolate-caramel mixture over the condensed milk layer, spreading it evenly.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or until set.
- Cut and Serve:
- Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into squares or rectangles.
- If desired, sprinkle a little sea salt on top before serving.
