My stomach was in knots all night last night anticipating the results of the election. Did anyone else eat their nerves in chocolate while glued to the television? Today, I’m on damage control…..carrots and celery for me (pffff!). I’ve had more than my fair share of chocolate and it’s only Wednesday.
My two year old is allergic to peanut butter so unfortunately, I had to dig through his bucket of Halloween candy and pull out every piece of chocolate containing peanut butter or peanuts. Tough job for me right? Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Peanut M&M’s, Butterfingers. I had a secret stash of three of my favorite candy bars. But it didn’t last long.
I ate the Reese’s and M&M’s, and technically, ate the Butterfingers too….in frosting form…on a fudgy chocolate brownie.
I can’t decide if it’s the perfect fudginess of the brownie or the killer butterfinger frosting that makes these so stinking good. Perhaps it’s the combination of both.
Yep, I’m pretty sure it’s both.
All I can say is put on your stretchy pants, make these, and just try not to eat half of the pan before you take some to your friends. Trust me, you want to take some to your friends.
Luckily, I had somewhere to take these babies on Sunday night, but I still ate what was left in the pan on Monday. Pretty sure my stretchy pants got a little bit stretchier.

Butterfinger frosting?? SOLD. I absolutely love this!!
Oh Kristy…I may hate you for posting this. Butterfingers are by far my favorite candy bar, and though I convinced my kids to give me theirs/stole them when they weren’t looking, they only came home with 4 little ones between the 3 of them. I will be trying these soon for sure.
Kristy, you are right. I would definitely need my stretchy pants for these. I don’t think I’d be able to contain myself from that butterfinger icing – butterfingers are my FAVORITE candy bar. I love this idea. 🙂
Oh man, that frosting is calling my name!
I had a gameplan so I wouldn’t eat last night. I started knitting a new scarf and watched taped programs. At different times like at the top of the hour I switched to Fox news for updates. It was a nailbiter and my tummy still hurt this morning. Your recipe looks wonderful and I’ve already forwarded several of them to family. Thank you so much for sharing. Blessings. Susan Fryman
Oh, these look SO good! I’m feeling fat just looking at them.
Your brownie looks so fluffy. I would die for one little piece of this 😉
I can see why self-control issues would occur! These look perfectly fudgy and I’m loving that frosting!
Such a great way to use Halloween candy. My boys would love it.
It said Baking Powder in the ingedients and Soda in the recipe…which to use?
Ahh thanks for catching this! It’s baking powder:). I’ll make the change!!
Not just this, however the clothing you receive from the shop
can likewise be invested in along with different, exciting add-ons
that will match your shit, trousers, or footwears very well.
There are many more areas to consider for emergency preparedness, such
as: medical needs, security, heating and cooking to mention a few.
Now it was back in the early eighties that a new trend began in designer clothing
advertising and it involved unreasonably high prices, and for some reason people
have been willing to pay them.
I got this site from my pal who told me on the topic of
this website and at the moment this time I am browsing this web site and
reading very informative articles at this place.
Nice post. I was checking continuously this blog and I am
impressed! Extremely useful information specifically the last part 🙂 I care
for such information much. I was looking for this certain information for a long time.
Thank you and good luck.
wow! i love it! such a nice idea! 🙂
