Ingredients :
- 6 ½ sheets of graham crackers
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 (11 oz) bag of caramel bits (or unwrapped caramels)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 (10 oz) bag of coarsely chopped Butterfinger bites
- 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, for drizzle
Directions:
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly coat the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Layer the Graham Crackers: Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared pan, breaking them as needed to fit.
- Add Marshmallows: Evenly distribute the mini marshmallows over the graham crackers, covering them completely.
- Melt the Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
- Pour Caramel Over Marshmallows: Gently pour the melted caramel over the marshmallows, ensuring even coverage. The heat from the caramel will slightly melt the marshmallows, creating a deliciously gooey layer.
- Add Butterfinger Bites: Sprinkle the coarsely chopped Butterfinger pieces over the caramel layer, pressing them down gently into the marshmallow-caramel mixture.
- Drizzle with Chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the Butterfinger layer in a decorative pattern.
- Chill and Set: Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the bars are firm and set.
- Slice and Serve: Once chilled, use the foil overhangs to lift the bar out of the pan. Peel away the foil and slice the set mixture into bars of your desired size.
