Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed Butterfinger bars (about 4 regular-sized bars)
  • 2 cups Rice Krispies or crispy rice cereal
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup (light or dark)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  • Prepare the base: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Butterfinger bars and Rice Krispies cereal. Set aside.
  • Make the caramel mixture: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a simmer and the sugar dissolves, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Combine: Remove the caramel mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the hot caramel mixture over the Butterfinger and Rice Krispies mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring the cereal and candy pieces are evenly coated.
  • Set the bars: Press the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch square baking pan (or a similar-sized dish) using a spatula or your hands, pressing firmly to compact the mixture.
  • Top with caramel: Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of the bars. You can either use store-bought caramel sauce or make your own for an extra rich flavor.
  • Optional chocolate drizzle: If you’d like to add a chocolate drizzle, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30-45 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the bars.
  • Chill and cut: Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour, or until set. Once chilled, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of Butterfinger candy based on your preference for crunch. Adding more will make the bars even crunchier!
  • If you don’t have Rice Krispies, you can use any crispy rice cereal or even cornflakes as a substitute.
  • For a different flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or pretzels to the mixture for added texture.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
