HOMEMADE BUTTERFINGER BITES



Homemade Butterfinger Bites image

Bent on using up a stash of leftover candy corn, I decided to experiment. Turns out, if you melt it, mix it with peanut butter and coat the balls with chocolate, you get a softer, denser version of a Butterfinger bite. Who knew? They're delicious! -Melissa Hansen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

HOMEMADE "BUTTERFINGERS"



Homemade

I needed to make a snack for something, and I had a few boxes of Cheez-Its in my pantry needing a use. I started searching the internet for something to make (honestly was thinking some type of a bar something - it didn't need to be sweet), when I came across this on another site. Because I prefer this one, I thought I would add it here. Tried a couple and I was hooked! It'll have people scratching their heads!

Mini Butterfinger Cheesecakes Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: chocolate sandwich cookies, unsalted butter, cream cheese, sugar, large eggs, vanilla extract, Butterfinger® Bits, whipped topping

Provided by Butterfinger

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 30m

Yield 42 mini cheesecakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 chocolate sandwich cookies
½ stick unsalted butter, melted
2 packages cream cheese, softened
¾ cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup Butterfinger® Bits
whipped topping, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 24-count mini muffin tins with paper liners. (Alternatively, use a standard 12-count muffin tin.)
  • Add the chocolate sandwich cookies to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined.
  • In a medium bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium speed to beat together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy, 5 minutes.
  • Assemble the cheesecakes: Scoop ½ teaspoon of the cookie crumb mixture into each paper liner and press down in an even layer. Add ½ teaspoon of the crushed Butterfinger® Bits over the cookie crust. Fill the liner to the top with the cream cheese filling.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, or until the mini cheesecakes are light golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill.
  • Before serving, add the whipped topping to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip. Pipe a dollop of the whipped topping on top of each mini cheesecake and sprinkle the remaining Butterfinger® Bits on top. Serve cold. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender to get a smooth peanut butter mixture.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Be careful not to overmix the peanut butter mixture, or it will become too oily.
  • To make the chocolate coating, use a high-quality chocolate that melts smoothly.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate Coating by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If It hardens immediately, the chocolate is ready.
  • To make the Butterfinger bites, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop the peanut butter mixture into balls. Then, roll the balls in the chocolate coating and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Refrigerate the Butterfinger bites for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

These Homemade Butterfinger Bites are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them classic or with a twist, these Butterfinger bites are sure to be a hit!
