2. Prepare the Baking Pan: Lightly grease a 13×9-inch baking pan. This helps prevent the bars from sticking and makes it easier to remove them once they’re baked.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures that the leavening agents and salt are evenly distributed throughout the flour.

4. Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer set to medium speed to combine the softened butter and brown sugar. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract until everything is well combined.

6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring just until the dough begins to come together.

7. Fold in Candy: Gently fold in 1 cup of the crushed Butterfinger bars, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

8. Spread and Top: Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Butterfinger bars evenly over the top of the batter, pressing them lightly into the surface.

9. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The bars are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

10. Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting them into squares. This will help them set and make them easier to cut.

Notes:

• For an extra treat, you can use more than 4 Butterfinger candy bars if desired, increasing the amount of crushed candy in the mixture and on top.
• These bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, making them perfect for make-ahead treats or sharing with friends and family.

Enjoy these Butterfinger Butter Bars with a glass of milk or as a standalone dessert—either way, they’re sure to be a hit! 🍫✨
