Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

2. Make the Crust:

   • Bake for 8–10 minutes. Let cool slightly.

3. Prepare Cheesecake Layer:

   • Add sugar and mix well.

   • Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla and sour cream. Mix until combined and smooth.

   • Pour over the crust and spread evenly.

4. Bake:

   • Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and only slightly jiggles.

   • Turn off oven, crack the door, and let bars cool for 15 minutes inside.

   • Remove and cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.

5. Top & Serve:

   • Drizzle caramel sauce over the chilled cheesecake.

   • Sprinkle chopped Butterfinger pieces generously on top.

   • Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavors.

   • Cut into bars and serve cold.

Tips:

• For cleaner cuts, wipe the knife with a damp cloth between slices.

• You can substitute Butterfingers with other candy bars (like Snickers or Twix) for variety.
