BUTTERFINGER COOKIE BARS
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

Normally I abstain from any sort of candy making, but these were so simple to do (and delicious to eat) I couldn't help it! Depending on the nut or seed butter you pick, the flavour can be whatever you please. Try roasted cashew butter for a real treat!

EASY BUTTER FINGERS CANDY
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.
