BUTTERFINGER COOKIE BARS

A soft and chewy Butterfinger cake slice with light and soft Butterfinger frosting.

This Butterfinger cake bar is HEAVENLY. The dough is like blonde. (Have you ever had blond hair before? This is a non-brown version of brownies). Thick, soft and springy. Plus, you add 2 cups of chopped Butterfinger beets to the batter too.

And if the cake bar isn't tasty enough, you top it with a light and soft buttercream frosting that also has Butterfinger chunks in it. Wow. WOOOOOWWW. This is SO GOOD.

This turned out to be even more fantastic than I imagined in my head. I have to bring all the pans into my husband's work so that I don't eat them all. Happy weekend everyone!
