Halloween is tomorrow, I hope you have your costumes and candy ready! Our boys are super excited and can’t wait to go trick or treating. I am looking forward to sneaking into their candy bags to find Butterfinger candy bars so I can make Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cookies. They are the perfect cookies for using up Halloween candy.

I am always looking for ways to use up Halloween candy because every year we end up with WAY too much candy. The boys come home with big bags of candy and we usually have leftover candy of our own. I don’t want the candy to go to waste so I turn the candy into delicious treats:

My soft peanut butter cookies are one of my all-time favorite cookie recipes. They are perfect in every way. I decided to use my favorite peanut butter cookie recipe to make Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cookies and it was a good idea. Actually, the BEST idea. These cookies are crazy good!  And to be honest, I don’t even really like Butterfinger candy bars, but put them in peanut butter cookies and I am ALL in!

The cookies are soft, chewy, with pieces of Butterfinger candy bars and milk chocolate chip cookies. I normally use semi-sweet chocolate chips in my cookie recipes, but milk chocolate chips are the way to go in this peanut butter cookie recipe. They go so well with the Butterfinger candy bars and peanut butter cookie. Trust me!

Gather up all of the Butterfinger candy bars you can find and make Peanut Butter Butterfinger Cookies.

Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer, cream the butter and peanut butter together until combined. Add the sugars and beat until creamy and smooth, about 3 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
  • With the mixer on low, slowly add in the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Stir in the chopped Butterfinger candy bars and milk chocolate chips.
  • Take about 2 tablespoons of dough and form a cookie dough ball. Place cookies on prepared baking sheet, about 2-inches apart. Slightly press down on the cookie balls with the palm of your hand.
  • Bake the cookies for 10 minutes or until they are golden at the edges and just set. Don’t over bake, the cookies will set up as they cool. Remove pan from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.

  1. Yum, these sound great! Butterfingers are one of my favorite candies, so I love incorporating them into recipes whenever I can! 

  2. You don’t like Butterfingers?! It’s okay, we can still be friends 😉

    I actually have a ton of crushed homemade Butterfinger bars that I used for making Butterfinger frosting (incredible). These cookies would be a great use for them!

    Thanks for another great recipe!

  3. Oh! Butterfingers are one of my favorite Halloween candies. So I’ll definitely be baking up a batch of these cookies!

  4. I went out tonight, two days after Halloween, to purchase butterfingers! These sound delicious! I am not a candy person but in cookies they sound delicious. Also purchased a bag 70% off.  

  5. 5 stars
    I literally just made these PB Butterfinger Cookies. I mostly followed your recipe; using Butterfinger Bits.My 1st batched I cooked for 12 minutes (interrupted w/ a phone call. The 2nd batch I took them out in the 10 minutes stated. My results were too brown on the bottoms with the 1st batch. The 2nd was excellent! I suggest you take them out immediately when the beeper goes off at 10. A Fantastic recipe.. Thank You for sharing.
