Butterfinger Cookie Bars image

My boys went through a phase where they loved Butterfingers. We made Butterfinger shakes, muffins, cookies and experimented with different bars; this one was voted the best of the bunch. Make sure you have an extra candy bar on hand because it's hard to resist a nibble or two while you're chopping. -Barbara Leighty, Simi Valley, California

EASY BUTTER FINGERS CANDY



Easy Butter Fingers Candy image

Sometimes I am embarrassed to tell people how easy this delicious candy is to make. It tastes very much like a famous crunchy peanut candy bar, and can be made in about 10 minutes (total time)! I like to buy a lot candy corn right after Halloween when it is on sale so it can be a very inexpensive candy to make. Sometimes I drizzle some melted milk chocolate on top of the semisweet chocolate after it's cooled just for decoration.

  • Make sure your peanut butter is smooth and creamy. This will help to create a smooth and even filling.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in chocolate. This will help to prevent the chocolate from melting.
  • Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate. This will help to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • Dip the cookies in the chocolate and then sprinkle them with chopped peanuts.
