Thank you Kim D. for this fantastic recipe. I love to bake and I found this to be a terrific cookie. I surprised my husband with a cookie containing his favorite candy bar. Needless to say these cookies were an instant hit. I will definately make these over and over. The recipe is easy and the cookies delicious.

    Definitely a great cookie! I am a major cookie baker. I love trying and making new varieties of cookies. I did change a few things slightly. I hate chunky peanut butter so I used the regular and only used about 1 Cup or slightly more (maybe 2 TBS) and I also added Milk Chocolate Chips (1/2 bag appx 1 Cup) these were awesome! Thank you for the recipe I truly love the taste. I also did as others mentioned and didn't process my candy bars in a food processor instead I chopped them up manually with a knife on the cutting board into larger chunks. I could definitely taste the butterfinger bars in the cookie. I only used 8 fun sized bars and it was perfect when being mixed with the chocolate chips.

    Excellent cookie! Butterfingers are my favorite candy and these were a hit! The recipe went together really easy, but I did make a few changes. I used creamy PB and only about 1/2 cup of it. This was because that was all I had but really wanted to try the recipe anyway. I think I will always make them like that as they were just peanut buttery enough and held together perfectly. Thanks for posting, Kim!

    I love Butterfinger so I was thrilled to find this recipe. I used my food processor to cut up the butterfinger, but I'm afraid that it might have been too much. The cookie tasted like peanutbutter, but it didn't have the yummy crunchiness of the Butterfinger. Next time I might also add chocolate chips. We have enjoyed the cookies. Thanks for the recipe Kim!
