I love Butterfingers – I blame my dad for my slight infatuation with these crispety, crunchety, peanut buttery candy bars. Seriously – it’s a problem. Last weekend, I was with my dad at Target and we picked up an obscene amount of Butterfinger candy bars – strictly for baking purposes – ha!
First, I made these Butterfinger Cookies – which are incredible, so if you haven’t made them yet, ya need to get on it. Trust me, you’ll thank me later.
After I made two batches of cookies, I still had quite a few candy bars sitting around looking all lonely in our candy dish. And since I simply couldn’t bring myself to log in Butterfingers as my dinner in My Fitness Pal, I had to get rid of them. So, I chopped them up and baked them into the center of a batch of brownies. These brownies are rich, delicious and loaded with Butterfinger bliss.

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 (2.1 ounce) Butterfinger candy bars, chopped into bite size piecesDirections:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Microwave chocolate and butter in a large bowl microwave-safe bowl at medium (50% power) for 3-4 minutes or until butter is melted.
3. Stir until chocolate is melted. Whisk in sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt. Gradually add in flour and stir until just combined.

Im obsessed with butterfingers. Pairing them with brownies is perfect!
These sound delicious. I love Butterfingers too!
Sounds like some winner brownies to me.
Butterfinger Brownies. That that sounds like an awesome combination
I love Butterfingers too – am obsessed with making my own Blizzards….chop ‘em up and stir into vanilla ice cream (Lite – of course) with a brownie on the side perhaps!
Oh yeah, I have a bit of an obsession with Butterfingers too! Around Halloweentime I was obsessed with putting them in every dessert possible – I cannot believe I haven’t tried them in brownies before! Genius!
These brownies are absolutely delightful! Awesome idea!
Gimme! I saw some brownies sort of similar to this is a local coffee shop and I have been dreaming about them ever since! I must make these now
If only I knew where to get those butterfingers in Spain!!!
There are never enough brownie combinations to make!
Oh my goodness… it’s my two favorite things combined. YUM!!
I don’t know the last time i had a butterfinger, but I would love one of those brownies right now. Just when I thought brownies couldn’t get any better, I discovered yours and then Slutty Brownies. Thats a whole lot of chocolate goodness!
omg. These are the best! I can’t imagine a better combo than butterfingers or brownies!
These look so moist, Jamie! Wish I had one or two around here.
Oh YUM. Right up my alley!
Oh goodness, I am going to have to try these! I have baked a similar brownie with snickers and one with reese’s and they were incredible. I think Butterfingers would have a great crunch!
Ohhhh…my husband is gonna love these. Our oldest, too. Yikes!! Getting on this next week!
I *loooove* Butterfingers. And I haven’t made the cookies (yet). And now I need to make these too. Better get on this!
I love butterfingers, i love brownies, this looks yum!
YOWZA! Just so you know I am gnawing on my hand in frustration right now.
YUM, these look absolutely perfect. so rich and decadent, and i bet those textures go perfectly together!
