How to Make Butterfinger Bars

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Spray a glass baking dish with non-stick spray.

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

Place two Butterfinger bars in a Ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin.

Add the crushed bars to the sugar cookie dough and mix until candy bar bits are well incorporated.

Spread half of the mixture on the bottom of the prepared glass dish. To make this easier, use non-stick spray on a piece of parchment paper and use it to even out the dough.

Layer 5 Butterfinger bars on top of the cookie dough.

Spread the remaining dough on top of the Butterfinger bars and even it out.

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

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, allowing the chocolate on top to melt.

Allow the bars to cool, then slice them into small bars.
