How to Make Butterfinger Bars

• Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• Prepare the Baking Dish: Spray a glass baking dish with non-stick spray.

Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar cookie mix, eggs, and water until thoroughly blended.

• Crush the Butterfinger Bars: Place two Butterfinger bars in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

 

Incorporate the Candy: Add the crushed Butterfinger bars to the sugar cookie dough and mix until well incorporated.

Layer the Dough: Spread half of the dough mixture in the bottom of the prepared glass dish. For an easier spread, use non-stick spray on a piece of parchment paper and press it evenly over the dough.

• Add Candy Bar Layers: Layer 5 Butterfinger bars on top of the cookie dough.

 

• Top with Dough: Spread the remaining dough over the Butterfinger bars and smooth it out.

 

Bake: Bake for 40 minutes, or until the cookie dough is cooked through.

Add Topping: Crush the remaining Butterfinger bar in a Ziploc bag and sprinkle it on top of the baked cookie. Press the candy bar into the baked cookie and return it to the oven for 3 minutes to melt the chocolate.

• Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool before slicing into small squares.
• Serve: Serve with your favorite ice cream for a truly indulgent treat!

Expert Tips:

• Easy Spreading: Use non-stick spray on parchment paper for easy spreading of the dough.
• Adhesion: Press the candy bar topping into the baked cookie to ensure it sticks well.
• Cooling: Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing to get cleaner cuts.

 

• Can I use a different brand of sugar cookie mix?
  Yes, feel free to use your preferred sugar cookie mix, adjusting quantities as needed.
• Can I substitute  with other candy bars?
  While Butterfinger adds a unique flavor, you can experiment with other candy bars to suit your taste.
• Can I freeze these cookie bars for later?
