Butterfinger Cupcakes


All you love about a Butterfinger candy bar, chocolate and peanut butter, in a cupcake! Get the Butterfinger Cupcake recipe today!

I have a weakness for cupcakes. Don’t get me wrong…I love a slice of cake, too. But cupcakes are my favorite since they’re piled high with my favorite treat of all – icing! This cupcake recipe tops my all time list of favorites since it combines a cupcake with the wonderful flavors of my favorite candy bar, Butterfinger.

These Butterfinger Cupcakes are bursting with chocolate and peanut butter flavors with a touch of crushed Butterfinger candy bars on top. Since I grew up in the eighties, I have to quote Bart Simpson and warn you. You better not lay a finger on my Butterfinger…Butterfinger Cupcakes, that is!
