🍫🍯 Caramel Butterfinger Bars 🍯🍫

Ingredients:

For the base layer:

1 cup (225 g) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups (200 g) graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
For the caramel layer:

1 package (14 oz / 400 g) soft caramels, unwrapped
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream or evaporated milk
For the topping:

1 1/2 cups (265 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup (130 g) creamy peanut butter
1 1/2 cups (about 6 fun-size bars) crushed Butterfinger candy bars
Optional garnish:

Extra Butterfinger crumbles
Drizzle of melted chocolate or caramel
Directions:

Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and salt. Mix well and press firmly into the bottom of a greased or parchment-lined 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking dish.

Bake the base: Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly while you make the caramel layer.

Make the caramel layer: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the caramels with heavy cream, stirring constantly until smooth. Pour the hot caramel over the baked crust and spread evenly. Let cool for 10 minutes to set slightly.

Make the topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour this chocolate-peanut butter mixture over the caramel layer and gently spread it evenly.

Add Butterfinger crunch: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle crushed Butterfinger candy evenly over the top. Press lightly to help it stick.

Chill: Refrigerate the bars for at least 2 hours to firm up before slicing into squares or bars.

Serve & store: Enjoy cold or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for maximum chewiness and crunch!

🍫🐢 Chocolate Turtle Cake 🐢🍫

Ingredients:

For the cake:

1 box (15.25 oz / 430 g) chocolate cake mix (devil’s food or chocolate fudge works best)
1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
1 cup (240 ml) water
3 large eggs
For the caramel pecan filling:

1 package (14 oz / 400 g) caramels, unwrapped
1/3 cup (80 ml) evaporated milk
1 cup (120 g) chopped pecans
1/2 cup (90 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted (for richness in caramel layer)
Optional topping:

Extra chopped pecans
Drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce
Whipped cream or ice cream (for serving)
Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch (23x33 cm) baking pan.

Prepare the cake batter: In a large bowl, combine cake mix, oil, water, and eggs. Beat until smooth and well combined (about 2 minutes). Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake the first layer: Bake just the bottom layer for 15 minutes. While that’s baking, prepare the caramel filling.

Make the caramel pecan filling: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the caramels with evaporated milk and butter, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped pecans.

Assemble the layers: Once the first cake layer is done baking, pour the caramel pecan mixture evenly over it. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top, then carefully spoon the remaining cake batter over everything and spread gently to cover.

Bake again: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the top layer comes out mostly clean (some gooeyness from the filling is normal).

Cool and garnish: Let the cake cool slightly before slicing. Drizzle with extra caramel or chocolate sauce and top with a few extra pecans for a beautiful finish. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you really want to take it over the top!

1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
For the gravy:

1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups (480 ml) chicken broth
1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream or milk
1 tsp dried thyme (or 1 tbsp fresh)
1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper
Optional: 1 tsp poultry seasoning or Cajun seasoning for extra flavor
For the rice:

1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
3 cups (720 ml) water or chicken broth
1 tbsp butter or oil
Pinch of salt
Optional garnish:

Chopped parsley or green onions
Directions:

Cook the rice: In a saucepan, bring water or broth to a boil. Stir in rice, butter, and a pinch of salt. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.

Season and sear the chicken: Pat the chicken dry and season with salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a large skillet or deep pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 4–5 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.

Add the broth and cream: Slowly pour in chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Add cream, thyme, salt, pepper, and any optional seasoning. Let simmer for 4–5 minutes until thickened slightly.

Smother the chicken: Return chicken to the pan, cover it in the gravy, reduce heat to low, and let it simmer gently for 25–30 minutes until the chicken is tender and cooked through.
