I am a cheesecake fanatic! When I found this recipe featuring Butterfinger candy bars, I knew it was for me. Our pastor's wife asked me to share this recipe so she could make it to impress her family back home. She couldn't believe something so elegant-looking was so easy to prepare. -Melissa Pirtle, Fresno, California
