Prep: 15 minutes | Bake: 30 minutes | Chill: 4 hours | Oven: 325°F | Makes: 12 bars

Ingredients

Pretzel Crust

2 cups crushed pretzels
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar

Cheesecake Filling

16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1½ cups chopped Butterfinger candy bars

Topping

½ cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
½ cup chopped Butterfinger candy
½ cup crushed pretzels

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Mix crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan.
Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes, then let it cool slightly.
Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream and vanilla.
Add eggs one at a time and mix just until combined.
Fold in 1½ cups chopped Butterfinger candy.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.
Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Drizzle with caramel sauce and top with chopped Butterfinger pieces and crushed pretzels.
Slice into 12 bars and serve chilled.
