I’ve always liked the “crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery” vibe of Butterfinger bars. But despite their incomparable texture and delicious flavor, I often forget that they exist.

I’m sorry, Butterfinger bars. You’re always a solid option. I enjoyed your underrated peanut butter cups. When a social media account I follow teased the return of Butterfinger BB’s—only to reveal the announcement as a cruel April Fool’s Day prank—my heart shattered like your flaky candy filling. I’m just too easily lured by the new and exciting, and I take for granted your steadfast presence in the candy aisle.

Butterfinger Salted Caramel, the brand’s first new flavor in ten years, proves that the brand may be steady, but it’s anything but stagnant. When it comes to limited edition novelty flavors, I’ve tried a lot of varieties from more prolific brands, including M&M’s, Kit Kat, and Reese’s. Butterfinger Salted Caramel ranks among the best in recent memory.

The Butterfinger Salted Caramel bar consists of its original crispy, laminated peanut buttery core enrobed in salted caramel-flavored crème coating. The coating smells and tastes like the caramel coating of kettle corn, but mellowed by creaminess.

The salt is the unsung hero of the bar. It makes each bite a sweet and salty lover’s dream: it gives a nice salty zing, it prevents the crème from tasting too sweet, and it enhances the flavor of the core, which I swear tastes even more peanut buttery than the original Butterfinger. The salt in this bar has accomplished more in one bite than I have all week. While the flavor of the caramel itself gets a little lost in all this excitement, the bar maintains a unique sweetness that avoids tasting simply like salty peanut butter.

So, is the Salted Caramel variety better than the original Butterfinger? While it’s hard to beat peanut butter and chocolate as a combination, I’d argue the two bars are close rivals.

Butterfinger Salted Caramel is available for a limited time, now through June. At my local Walmart, the bars were relegated to a far corner of the self-checkout area, almost impossible to see until the last leg of the shopping journey. Maybe, like me, the store failed to fully appreciate Butterfinger, but at least one of us has already learned a lesson.
