BUTTERFINGER COOKIE BARS

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
