Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups crushed Butterfinger candies (about 8 fun-size bars)
  • 1 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for smoother chocolate topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Base

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and 1 cup of the crushed Butterfinger candies.
  2. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and form a slightly sticky, cohesive mixture.

2. Press into the Pan

  1. Line an 8×8-inch (or similar size) baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the pan to form the base layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat spatula to smooth it out.

3. Add the Chocolate Topping

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. Add coconut oil if using for a smoother texture.
  2. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter base and spread it evenly with a spatula.

4. Sprinkle with Butterfinger Crunch

  1. Immediately sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of crushed Butterfinger candies evenly over the chocolate topping, pressing gently to adhere.

5. Chill and Slice

  1. Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
  2. Once firm, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles.

Notes

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. These bars can also be frozen for longer storage.
  • Variations: Swap Butterfinger candies for Reese’s Pieces, crushed peanut butter cups, or your favorite candy for a unique twist.
  • Tips: For cleaner cuts, use a sharp knife warmed under hot water, wiping the blade between cuts.
