Butterfinger Blondies

Who doesn’t love a Butterfinger? I think they may have been one of my favorite things to get during Halloween. The only bad part was having to get all of the crunchy peanut butter candy out of your teeth! What was your favorite candy to get on Halloween?

Either way, these were absolutely delectable, and I’ll tell you why: lots of butter, brown sugar, and crushed up Butterfinger candy bars! Kramer’s favorite candy are Butterfingers, so whenever I run across a recipe that uses them, I just have to make it (thank you Recipe Girl!) Either way, you can imagine how good these are with melted Butterfingers in the middle! You need to make these soon! Recipe after the jump.



Combine your flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.


Beat together your butter and brown sugar for at least 3 minutes.


Beat in the eggs and vanilla.


Crush up your candy bars in a Ziploc bag.


Gradually add your flour and then add the Butterfingers.


Spread the batter into your pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 30-35 minutes.


Allow to cool before cutting.


These are irresistible!

Oh my gosh, I can’t believe you’ve never had a Butterfinger! That should be your only concern today: seeking out and eating a Butterfinger.

Gahh! You’re the devil! I think I gained weight looking at these…
Have you ever had a Chick-o-stick? It’s a weird old-timey candy, like the inside of a Butterfinger covered in toasted coconut. So good.
(I love your blog- I added you to my blogroll!)

I have a feeling I will be making these soon! They look delicious.

Mmmmm…I might have to try this one…

I have way too many favorite halloween candies to list (and I became an expert at bartering to get more of what I liked), but boy do I love butterfingers. This recipe looks super easy, I might just have to try it!

Those look great. I am for sure going to save this recipe!

We can’t get Butterfingers over here. Its a good job because I’m currently trying to eat my monitor so I have no idea what I’d be like if I could actually make them!

GREAT pictures of those delicious treats. We loved these and I’m glad you did too!

These look so sweet my teeth are hurting!
Love the pics!

Made these last night!! The worst part was not eating all the crushed Butterfingers! I liked them because they were so easy. I did sprinkle some left over choc. chips on top. Everyone loved them, I’m taking the rest to work today, they are too dangerous to have in the house!
Love you, Auntie Donna

Hi,
I made these last night. I still didn’t try the butterfinger candy on it’s own but it tasted divine in the blondie. I’m not a candy bar person, I don’t care for milk chocolate.
I noticed in your photos that the blondies were on the moist side. I initially baked them for 30 min but they were really jigglely in the middle so I left them in for another 5 mins. Because my edges were getting dark (& crunchy) I took them out but when I cut into them they were still pretty moist not runny or anything just moist. Also, did yours sink quite a bit? Just wondering if I messed up. With all that said the kids were thrilled with the blondies! We liked the carmelized bits of candy bar, nice surprise. Also, I sprinkled quite a bit of candy bar on top so mine are crusty.

Those look so moist and good!

I’m Australian and have no idea what butterfingers are, but these look delicious! What other chocolate bar could I substitute?

thecrepesofwrath December 22, 2008 at 7:27 am

Bianca: They are delicious, haha! Thank you. :) Hmm…maybe toffee crisp? I don’t know if you have those in Australia but I’ve had them in England and Canada and I think they’re sort of similar. Anything crunchy and flaky with a chocolate coating will do the trick!
