Searching for the ideal autumn dessert for your next event? Search no more! This delicious recipe is incredibly simple to prepare, demands no baking, and incorporates the beloved Halloween candy, Butterfinger, creating a treat that’s irresistible to many.
These No-Bake Butterfinger Dessert Bars won’t just be the highlight of your gathering, but they’re also ample for a crowd! I designed this recipe for a flat half baking sheet (18″x13″) to produce slender treats suitable for large groups. However, if you prefer, you can adapt the same recipe for a 9×13 or an 8×8 dish for a more substantial bite.
This recipe incorporates two delightful Butterfinger variations:
The Fun Size Butterfingers, celebrated for their crispy, crunchy, and peanut-buttery flavor. I roughly cut these small bars and blended them into the dessert bar mixture.
The Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cup Skulls share the signature Butterfinger taste but offer a luscious peanut butter core. To craft the ultimate chocolate peanut butter glaze, simply unwrap and melt them.
Creating Butterfinger Dessert Bars is straightforward:
Begin by mixing your dessert dough components, leaving out the flour. Once amalgamated, introduce the flour.
Roughly slice the Fun Size Butterfinger candies and blend them into the dough.
Subsequently, mold the dough into your chosen baking dish or sheet, based on your preferred thickness.
For the Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze:
Unwrap the Butterfinger Peanut Butter Skulls and heat in the microwave for about 45 seconds until they liquefy.
Stir in powdered sugar until smooth, then spread it over your prepared Butterfinger dessert bars.
Allow the glazed bars to chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of an hour before slicing and serving.
From this one recipe, you can delight a whole gathering! By spreading the dough on a half baking sheet, you can yield roughly 24 Butterfinger Dessert Bars. Alternatively, segment them further to craft smaller 1″ morsels, perfect for effortless sharing.
Each morsel delivers the signature Butterfinger taste, complemented by a cookie dough essence and a velvety chocolate peanut butter glaze. This symphony of flavors guarantees a dessert that’ll be a hit with everyone!
