Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Combine the caramel candies and heavy cream in another bowl and microwave until smooth. Stir well.
  3. Once the base cools, spread the melted chocolate evenly over it, followed by the caramel mixture. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Butterfinger on top.
