These Butterfinger Cookie Bars are a great way to use up Butterfinger candy bars! Layers of chocolate, chopped up candy bars and cookie dough make these an amazing treat. You get the best of many worlds all wrapped into a single delicious dessert.
My overwhelmed meter is in the red zone. I will literally be thinking ahead only one hour at a time until next Tuesday morning when my little boys and I take off on our 3,000+ mile road trip. I cannot wait until all of my tasks are accomplished and we are on the open road! I will share details of the trip later, but for now? Details of a very sinful treat! I am a HUGE Butterfinger lover so this is a little slice of heaven for me, just like this Butterfinger Cheesecake and these Butterfinger Bites!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Let a 16.5-oz. package of refrigerated cookie dough sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Coarsely chop 3 Hershey’s bars.
In a medium bowl, combine the cookie dough and chocolate pieces.
Mix together using your hands.
As if this glob of calories weren’t enough!
Press half of it into the bottom of the prepared pan and top it with 5 Butterfinger candy bars. Mmmm.
Top with the remaining cookie dough and pop it in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through.
Meanwhile, coarsely chop 2 Butterfinger candy bars (yes, that is 7 total Butterfingers). When the bars come out of the oven, crumble the Butterfinger pieces over the top and press down gently.
Let the bars cool completely and cut into small squares.
Thanks for reading! Onto my next task!

Bought the ingredients to bake these delicious looking treats. Can't wait to try them tomorrow. Feeling guilty already.
Love Butterfingers,this is a recipe to die for !!
Hi Butterfinger Square! Feel free to replace any candy bar with the Butterfingers in this recipe. Kit Kat? Snickers? Baby Ruth? Twix? Hope this helps!
Megan
what can you use instead of butterfingers there hard to find where i live
WOW! I'm going to make this for my sister's birthday. This might sound insane, but if I were to use this as her birthday cake, would it be cake-ish enough alone or should I throw on some icing (or would that be overkill?) Thanks!!
On the way to the store now to buy the ingredients!
Melanie: These aren't hard at all! Just perfectly crunchy in the right spots and gooey chewy everywhere else. 🙂

Made these for my potluck tomorrow! So excited to try them!!
It looks really really good, but is it a hard cookie bar?
These look so tasty, I am going to make them for tomorrows pot luck.
Oh, my word. This recipe is getting pinned to my "Bad, Bad, Bad" board right now. Butterfingers are my favorite candy bar – and this is killing me! (But in a very good way)
As a Butterfinger fan, the pictures are making my mouth water! I don't have the exact ingredients on hand, but I could probably make this with the Butterfinger minis and the refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough that I DO have. Thanks for the idea! 🙂
SO GLAD you liked these, GLITZYGIRLTX! Mmmm, wanting a batch for myself right now. 🙂
