Ingredients
  

For the Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Bars:

1 cup crushed Butterfinger bars (about 4 full-sized bars)

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/2 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark)

1/2 cup caramel sauce

1/4 cup chopped nuts (peanuts or almonds, optional)

For the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup fresh strawberries, pureed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup crushed strawberry-flavored cereal (like Strawberry Shortcake)

1/2 cup whipped cream (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Bars:

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

      - In a mixing bowl, combine crushed Butterfinger bars, graham cracker crumbs, and melted butter. Mix until fully incorporated.

        - Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 inch baking dish to form a crust.

          - Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, then remove and let cool slightly.

            - Drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the crust.

              - Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts (if using) on top, pressing them lightly into the caramel.

                - Return to the oven for another 5-7 minutes, just until the chocolate melts. Remove and let cool completely.

                  Make the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites:

                    - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.

                      - Gradually add in powdered sugar, pureed strawberries, and vanilla extract. Blend until there are no lumps and everything is well combined.

                        - Fold in whipped cream to give a light, fluffy texture to the cheesecake mixture.

                          - Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, scoop out portions of the cheesecake mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls.

                            - Roll each ball in the crushed strawberry cereal until they are nicely coated. Place on a parchment-lined tray.

                              Assembly:

                                - Once the Butterfinger bars have cooled, cut them into squares or rectangles.

                                  - Serve the Butterfinger Caramel Crunch Bars alongside the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Bites, or layer them for a beautiful dessert platter.
