“I love peanut butter and I love Butterfinger. I bet I made 15 batches before I perfected this recipe. Be careful to buy fresh Butterfinger candy bars when you make these.” Judge’s Comment: “The ingredients are well-blended, and the chewy middle is complemented by the crunchy outside.” – Kayla Duffey
