Bake for 8–10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
2. Add the Caramel Layer:
Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the baked crust.
If using sea salt, sprinkle it lightly over the caramel layer for a delicious salty-sweet contrast.
3. Layer with Butterfinger & Chocolate:
Sprinkle the chopped Butterfinger pieces evenly over the caramel layer.
Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Drizzle or spread the melted chocolate over the Butterfinger layer.
4. Add the Final Crunch (Optional):
Sprinkle the top with crushed pretzels and chopped peanuts for added crunch and flavor.
5. Chill & Serve:
Place the bars in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
Once firm, slice into squares or bars and enjoy!
Tips for Success:
No-Bake Option: Skip the pre-baking step and chill the crust in the fridge before adding the caramel layer.
Extra Gooey? Add ½ cup sweetened condensed milk to the caramel layer for a richer filling.
Storage: Keep bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
