Butterfinger Candy Bar Snack Squares

Butterfingers chocolate has been around in America for decades, but it is fairly new to us here. However, the creamy, sweet peanut butter taste is perfect for making extra special cookies. Whether you are looking for a delicious tasty treat as an after school snack or you want to make an extra special ice cream sundae, these Butterfinger candy bar squares will be ideal.

Ingredients:

160 grams of unsalted softened butter

200 grams of caster sugar

Two eggs

• teaspoon vanilla extract

One teaspoon baking powder

• teaspoon salt

325 grams of flour

Seven Butterfinger candy bars

100 grams of good quality chopped milk chocolate

Method:

The first step is you need to make your basic cookie dough. Cream the sugar and butter until it is light and smooth. Beat in the vanilla and eggs, before folding in the salt, baking powder and flour. Allow the dough to chill for at least an hour.

Preheat your oven to 190ºc and lightly grease a 20 centimetre square baking dish.

Add the chocolate pieces to the cookie dough and press half of the cookie mixture into the bottom of your baking dish. Unwrap and place five of the Butterfinger candy bars and place on top of the cookie layer. Cover with a layer of remaining cookie dough.

Bake for approximately 20 minutes or until the dough is fully baked.

Crush the remaining two candy bars and scatter over the top of the dish as soon as it comes out of the oven. Allow your dish to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Serving Suggestions:

Once cooled, these squares are deliciously chocolatey, with a delicious crumbly cookie texture. However, they can also be used as a base for some fantastic desserts. You can use your squares to make a delicious ice cream sandwich or as a cookie base for your favourite cheesecake or sweet pie. You can also make smaller squares to act as a garnish in an ice cream sundae instead of wafers. Bear in mind that the squares will have an overall chocolate and peanut flavour, so you can choose desserts that will be complemented by this combination. Just be aware that these squares are very rich, so a little goes a long way.

However, if you want a simple treat, they taste fantastic with a cup of coffee mid morning, when you have the house to yourself. Just remember to leave some for the kids when they get back home from school, or you’ll be in trouble.

Your squares should be stored in an airtight container for up to five days.
