Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the baking dish to form crust.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract. Fold in sour cream until combined.
Pour cheesecake filling over crust and spread evenly. Bake 45-50 minutes until center is set but slightly jiggly.
Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate at least 3 hours to chill thoroughly.
Drizzle caramel sauce over chilled bars. Sprinkle chopped Butterfinger pieces and optional chocolate chips on top.
Cut into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

For extra chocolate flavor, swirl melted chocolate into the cheesecake filling before baking.

Swap Butterfinger bars with Heath, Twix, or Snickers for different flavors.

Add cinnamon or espresso powder to the filling for subtle depth.

Use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs for a gluten-free crust.

Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days; best served chilled.

Freeze individual bars wrapped tightly for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in fridge before serving.

To prevent cracks, bake at lower temperature and remove when center is slightly jiggly. Cool gradually and chill thoroughly.
