Butterfinger S’mores Bars

Does it really get any better than s’mores? Chocolate, marshmallows, graham crackers—it’s the perfect combination. Until now! We’ve improved on that perfection with the addition of Butterfinger. The crispety, crunchety texture and the chocolate peanut-buttery flavor takes traditional s’mores to the next level.

We’ve even made them into s’mores bars so you don’t need a campfire to enjoy your favorite chocolate marshmallow treat. A perfectly baked graham cracker crust makes the bottom layer; followed by a layer of soft, fudgy chocolate with marshmallows; and is finished with a layer of chopped Butterfinger Minis.

What is in Butterfinger S’mores Bars?

  • Butterfinger Minis – Did you know that Butterfinger has improved its recipe? These delicious bites of peanut-buttery goodness have an improved texture, an increased peanut quality, and no hydrogenated fats. They even have new packaging that locks in the freshness and flavor. Butterfinger Minis are the perfect size for snacking on while you bake…I mean, for baking with! 😉 Don’t forget to grab a COUPON!
  • Chocolate Chips – I prefer semi-sweet chocolate chips for this, but you can also use dark chocolate.
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk – This is a super sweetened milk that is then cooked down into a condensed form that is smooth, creamy and totally decadent.
  • Marshmallows – Purchase the regular size marshmallows for this. They are the perfect size for the s’mores bars.
  • Graham Cracker Crumbs – You can place whole graham crackers in a food processor and make your own or, if you’re like me and want to save time, you can purchase graham cracker crumbs in the baking aisle.
  • Sugar – This is added to the graham cracker crust to sweeten it and to help it bind together.
  • Butter – This is also added to the crust. Make sure to use unsalted butter!

How to Make Butterfinger S’mores Bars:

crust for Butterfinger S'mores Bars

Step 1: Make your graham cracker crust.

To do this, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and butter in a bowl. Stir it together until the graham cracker crumbs are evenly moistened by the butter. Place the mixture in the bottom of your 9×13 baking pan and firmly press them into an even layer.

TIP: Packing the crust down well is the key to having a nice, firm crust at the end. I like to use the bottom of a measuring cup to get my crust nice and evenly packed.

Bake for 10 minutes until the edges begin to brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Step 2: Make your chocolate and marshmallow fudge.

That’s right, I said fudge! I used my microwave fudge recipe to make the filling for these s’mores bars, and OMG is it good! Just combine chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in a microwave-safe dish, and then microwave for about 3 minutes. Stir until everything is melted and smooth. If you need to microwave it for a little longer, just do it 1 minute at a time until you have a smooth chocolate fudge.

It wouldn’t be a s’mores without marshmallows! Add 2 cups of marshmallows and fold them into the fudge.

Step 3: Make a layer of chocolate marshmallow fudge

Once your marshmallow fudge is ready, pour it over your cooled graham cracker crust and spread it evenly. Make sure it goes all the way to the edge!

Step 4: Top with Butterfinger Minis

To take those s’mores bars to the next level, top the fudge with chopped Butterfinger Minis. Leave some big chunks mixed in with the crushed bits. It adds just the right amount of crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery flavor to those bars.

Press the Butterfinger pieces down firmly into the fudge, and then place the whole pan in the refrigerator to chill for about an hour.

Put the bars in the fridge to chill so that they are easier to cut, remove them from the refrigerator and cut into squares. I like to cut mine into small, bite-size squares. That way I can eat one or two without feeling guilty ;).
