Ingredients

Scale

Base

6 1/2 graham crackers

Layers

2 cups mini marshmallows
1 bag (11 oz) caramel bits
2 Tbsp milk
1 bag (10 oz) Butterfinger Bites, coarsely chopped

Chocolate Drizzle

2 oz semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with foil, ensuring the foil extends over the edges for easy removal later. Lightly spray the foil with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Layer the Base: Arrange the graham crackers in the bottom of the pan, breaking pieces as necessary to fit snugly and form an even base layer.
Add Marshmallows: Evenly spread the mini marshmallows over the graham cracker base to create a soft, sweet layer.
Melt Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramel bits and milk. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring each time, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
Pour and Spread Caramel: Drizzle the melted caramel evenly over the marshmallows, spreading gently to cover the entire surface. Note that the marshmallows will soften slightly, which adds to the gooey texture.
Butterfinger Layer: Sprinkle the coarsely chopped Butterfinger Bites evenly over the caramel layer, gently pressing them into the sticky mixture so they adhere.
Melt Chocolate: Place the semi-sweet chocolate in another microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle the melted chocolate artistically over the Butterfinger pieces for an elegant finish and extra flavor.
Chill: Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and chill for about one hour, or until the bars are completely set and firm.
Slice and Enjoy: Lift the bars out of the pan using the foil edges, cut into squares or rectangles, and enjoy this delectable treat!

Notes

You can substitute caramel bits with caramel sauce if preferred; adjust the amount of milk accordingly to maintain consistency.
For easier slicing, let the bars chill fully before cutting, and use a sharp knife warmed in hot water.
Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
To add a nutty crunch, sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts over the Butterfinger layer before drizzling chocolate.
If you prefer a less sweet treat, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet for the drizzle.
