\"Butterfinger<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you, but for me Halloween has always been all about the candy. The costume was simply necessary in order to get said candy. I\u2019m pretty sure I was a witch for many years simply so that I\u2019d have a costume and could go trick-or-treating.<\/p>\n

\"Butterfinger<\/p>\n

And when it came to candy – the more, the better. We\u2019d go door to door for hours. Then when my brother and I were done trick-or-treating, we\u2019d pour all our candy out onto the floor, sort it and then trade the candy we didn\u2019t like for other candy. Of course Butterfingers have always been a big hit. Who can resist the crunch and the peanut butter?!<\/p>\n

\"Butterfinger<\/p>\n

These cupcakes really are the most delicious way to eat a Butterfinger. The cupcake is light, fluffy and full of peanut butter. And to make sure it has that extra special Butterfinger flavor, it has bits of the candy that are crushed up and added right to the batter. Just a tip \u2013 if you have a food chopper, that was the easiest and quickest way to crush up the Butterfinger. Worked like a charm!<\/p>\n

\"Butterfinger<\/p>\n

Once the cupcakes are baked, they are topped with a little layer of chocolate ganache. I thought the chocolate would break up the peanut butter a bit, plus Butterfingers are covered in chocolate, so it\u2019s totally necessary. \u263a You could even drizzle a little chocolate over the top, if you like.<\/p>\n

\"Butterfinger<\/p>\n

Sitting atop the cupcakes is a peanut butter frosting that is again filled with crushed Butterfingers. The combination of everything is perfectly peanut butter-y with the distinct flavor of Butterfinger. Perfection!<\/p>\n

I shared these with friends and they were a big hit! At first they claimed they were too pretty to eat, but they quickly got past that and devoured them all. I hope you enjoy them too!<\/p>\n
