Ingredients

Scale

Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling:

1 cup granulated sugar
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1 cup caramel sauce, divided
1 cup crushed Butterfinger candy bars, divided

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
Make the crust: In a bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
Mix in vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.
Fold in half the caramel sauce and half the crushed Butterfingers.
Pour filling over crust, smoothing the top.
Bake 30–35 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggly.
Cool for 1 hour, then refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, drizzle remaining caramel and sprinkle with crushed Butterfingers. Slice into bars and enjoy!

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use GF graham cracker crumbs.
Swap Butterfinger with another candy bar for fun flavor twists.
Cheesecake bars can be made 2–3 days in advance and stored chilled.
Freeze for up to 3 months – just thaw in the fridge before serving.
