 Ingredients

  • 1½ cups creamy peanut butter

  • 1¼ cups unsalted butter, melted

  • 5 Butterfinger bars, crushed

  • 2½ cups graham cracker crumbs

  • 16 oz confectioners’ sugar

  • 24 oz chocolate candy coating, melted

 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep Your Ingredients

Crush the Butterfinger bars (a rolling pin and zip-top bag work well), and melt the butter.

2. Mix the Base

In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and melted butter until smooth and creamy.

3. Add the Dry Ingredients

Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and confectioners’ sugar. Mix until everything is fully combined into a thick dough.

4. Add the Butterfinger Crunch

Gently fold in the crushed Butterfinger pieces, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.

5. Prepare the Pan

Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later.

6. Press the Mixture

Spread the peanut butter mixture into the pan and press it down firmly and evenly with a spatula or your hands.

7. Add the Chocolate Layer

Pour the melted chocolate candy coating over the top and smooth it out with a spatula.

8. Chill Until Firm

Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until the bars are completely set and the chocolate has hardened.

9. Cut and Serve

Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to slice into squares or bars.

 Pro Tips

  • Perfect Crumbs: Use a food processor to make fine, even graham cracker crumbs in seconds.

  • Clean Cuts: Run your knife under hot water, then dry it before slicing for smooth, professional-looking bars.

  • Make Ahead Friendly: These bars stay fresh in the fridge for up to a week, and they also freeze beautifully!

 Storage

  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days.

  • Freezer: Freeze bars (cut or uncut) for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
