# Ingredients:

→ Crust

01 - 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
02 - ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
03 - ¼ cup granulated sugar

→ Filling

04 - 1 cup caramel bits or soft caramels

# Instructions:

01 - Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. Press mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 8x8 inch baking pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden.
02 - Melt caramel bits with heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl or on stovetop using low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Pour the warm caramel evenly over the baked crust.
03 - Immediately sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger pieces over the caramel layer, pressing lightly to adhere.
04 - Melt chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon butter until smooth and glossy. Spread melted chocolate evenly over the Butterfinger layer. Sprinkle additional Butterfinger pieces on top for garnish.
05 - Allow bars to cool at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours until completely set. Cut into squares before serving.

# Notes:

01 - For clean-cut bars, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts.
02 - Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
