Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup crispy rice cereal

2 cups Butterfinger candy bars, crushed

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

1/2 cup caramel sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a bit of an overhang on the sides for easy removal.

    Make the Base: In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, melted butter, and half of the sweetened condensed milk until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

      Add the Layers: In another bowl, combine the remaining sweetened condensed milk, granulated sugar, and crispy rice cereal. Stir in the crushed Butterfinger bars, then layer this combination over the graham cracker base, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.

        Melt the Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and caramel sauce. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted and smooth.

          Combine and Spread: Drizzle or pour the melted chocolate-caramel mixture over the Butterfinger layer, spreading it out evenly. If desired, sprinkle chopped peanuts on top for extra crunch.

            Chill: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours or until firm.

              Cut and Serve: Use the parchment overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve chilled. Enjoy your delectable Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Bars!
