Description

Enjoy the perfect blend of crunchy, sweet, and salty with these Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Bars. Made with crispy rice cereal, rich chocolate, and crushed Butterfinger candy bars, they are a delightful treat for any occasion!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 4–5 bars)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Melt the Butter: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring occasionally for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add Sugars and Corn Syrup: Stir in granulated sugar, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Mix continuously until well combined and sugars dissolve (3-4 minutes).
  3. Incorporate Vanilla and Salt: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Mix in the Cereal: In a large bowl, combine crispy rice cereal with the melted mixture, folding gently until coated.
  5. Add the Butterfinger: Fold in crushed Butterfinger candy bars for added crunch.
  6. Press into Pan: Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Transfer the mixture and press down firmly to compact.
  7. Melt the Chocolate and Butterscotch: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth (1-2 minutes).
  8. Spread the Topping: Pour the melted mixture over the cereal base and spread evenly.
  9. Chill the Bars: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the topping is set.
  10. Remove from Pan: Lift the bars out using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board.
  11. Cut into Bars: Cut into squares or rectangles, aiming for about 24 bars.
  12. Store the Bars: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  13. Serve and Share: Enjoy these bars at parties or as a sweet treat at home.
  14. Pair with a Beverage: Serve with cold milk or warm coffee for a delightful combination.
  15. Experiment with Variations: Get creative by adding nuts or swapping out the Butterfinger for other candy bars.
