Crunchy Buttery Chocolate Bars

These bars are good, but after I have made them I realized that I no longer need recipes for "kids" dishes. If I was going to spend time making a dessert bar, I would rather make something a bit more sophisticated. I will pass this recipe on to someone who will have fun with their kids making a wacky dessert bar!! About the picture below, I got a bit hungry and tested out the bars before the chocolate had set. I should have taken the picture before I taste-tested them!!

6 2.1-oz. Butterfinger candy bars
3/4 c. sugar
