Butterfinger Peanut Butter Bars Recipe

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

• 2 cups powdered sugar

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan
   Line an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil. Lightly grease for easy removal later.

2. Make the Base
   In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, melted butter, powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs until well combined. Stir in the crushed Butterfinger pieces.

3. Press & Chill
   Press the peanut butter mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to smooth it out. Refrigerate while you prepare the topping.

4. Chocolate Topping
   In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

5. Top & Set
   Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle extra chopped Butterfinger on top if desired.

6. Chill & Slice
   Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours, or until firm. Lift from the pan and cut into squares or bars. Store in the fridge for up to a week—or the freezer for longer.

Tips & Variations

• Want a twist? Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.

• No graham crackers? Crushed pretzels or vanilla wafers also work beautifully.

• Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free graham-style crackers or omit entirely and adjust the sugar.

• Add a drizzle: Once chilled, drizzle with caramel or white chocolate for extra flair.
