Ingredients

  • 6 cups cornflakes or crispy rice cereal
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6–8 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup until smooth.
  3. Add sweetened condensed milk and bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly for 5–6 minutes until thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour caramel mixture over cereal in a large bowl, stirring quickly to coat evenly.
  6. Fold in most of the crushed Butterfingers, reserving some for topping.
  7. Press mixture firmly into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining Butterfinger crumbs on top.
  8. If desired, melt chocolate chips and drizzle or spread over the bars.
  9. Cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

  • Add peanut butter to caramel mixture for a nutty twist.
  • Use chocolate cereal or mix in chopped pretzels for variety.
  • Layer melted marshmallows before chocolate for a s’mores-style version.
  • For thicker bars, press mixture into a 9×9-inch pan.
  • Best stored in an airtight container at room temp up to 4 days or refrigerated for firmer bars.
