Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

Caramel Layer:

  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup

Topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups Butterfinger candy bars, chopped (about 4 regular-sized bars)
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional, for easier melting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. Make the crust:
    • In a medium bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt.
    • Cut in the softened butter with a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture is crumbly.
    • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
    • Bake for 18–20 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let it cool.
  3. Prepare the caramel layer:
    • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the condensed milk, butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup.
    • Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns a light golden brown (about 8–10 minutes).
    • Pour the caramel over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly. Let it cool until set (about 30 minutes).
  4. Add the topping:
    • Sprinkle the chopped Butterfinger candy bars evenly over the caramel layer.
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the vegetable oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
    • Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the Butterfinger layer.
  5. Set and slice:
    • Allow the bars to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate is firm.
    • Cut into squares or bars and serve.

Notes

  • For a crunchier crust, you can bake it for an additional 2–3 minutes.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
