Looking for a dessert that’s easy, indulgent, and perfect for any occasion? These Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Mini Pies check all the boxes! With a creamy caramel center, rich chocolate ganache topping, and a generous sprinkle of crushed Butterfinger bits, every bite is an explosion of flavor. They’re the ultimate mini treat to impress guests or satisfy your own sweet tooth.


Ingredients

  • 12 mini tart shells (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 tablespoon butter

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 4 Butterfinger candy bars, crushed

  • Optional: a pinch of sea salt for garnish


Instructions

Step 1: Make the Caramel Layer

  1. In a small saucepan, add the sweetened condensed milk and butter.

  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 10–15 minutes or until thick and golden (like a dulce de leche texture).

  3. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. Spoon the caramel evenly into each mini tart shell and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Ganache

  1. In a heatproof bowl, add chocolate chips.

  2. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer.

  3. Pour hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes.

  4. Stir gently until smooth and glossy.

Step 3: Assemble the Pies

  1. Spoon the ganache over the caramel-filled tart shells.

  2. Immediately sprinkle crushed Butterfinger pieces on top before the ganache sets.

  3. (Optional) Add a pinch of sea salt on each tart for a sweet-salty finish.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

  1. Refrigerate the mini pies for at least 1 hour to set.

  2. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Homemade Tart Shells: Make your own tart dough for a richer, buttery crust.

  • Switch the Candy: Try it with Heath, Snickers, or Toffee bits for a fun twist.

  • Make it Nut-Free: Use crushed cookies or sprinkles instead of candy bars.

  • Add Whipped Cream: Top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream right before serving for extra flair.
