Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups Cheez-It Crackers (Original)
  • 4 full size Butterfinger bars
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Method
 

  1. Unwrap the Butterfinger bars completely.
  2. Place the candy bars inside a heavy-duty plastic storage bag.
  3. Crush the bars using a rolling pin until you achieve pea-sized fragments.
  4. Combine the Cheez-It crackers and crushed Butterfinger pieces in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the cracker and candy mixture.
  6. Toss the contents gently with a silicone spatula until every piece is lightly coated.
  7. Sprinkle the sea salt over the mixture to enhance the contrast.
  8. Allow the mixture to set for five minutes before serving.

Notes

Use cold candy bars straight from the refrigerator to ensure they shatter into clean, crunchy pieces. Avoid over-crushing to keep larger, textured pieces. Store in an airtight glass jar to maintain crispness. Pair with sparkling apple cider for a festive non-alcoholic beverage.
