Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat the oven to 350F (175C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan. In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form an even crust.
Layer the Ingredients:
Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the graham cracker crust, ensuring that it covers the entire surface. Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the condensed milk, allowing it to create a delicious layer. Finally, sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy bars evenly on top of the mixture.
Bake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the bars are golden brown. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan.
Drizzle with Chocolate:
After the bars have cooled, melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cooled bars, creating a decorative and tasty finish.
Serve:
Slice the cooled bars into squares or rectangles, and serve them at room temperature or refrigerate for a chilled treat. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
Store any leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Customization:
Feel free to add nuts, more candy, or variations in the chocolate drizzling to make it your own.
Serving Suggestion:
These bars pair wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a glass of cold milk.
