It’s been a few days since Halloween, and our house is still full of trick-or-treating candy. I grabbed as many Butterfingers as I could before they were all eaten just so that I could make these fabulous, chewy, sinful cookies.
What to do with leftover Halloween candy
I came up with this recipe by combining two of my favorite things – Butterfinger candies and our family recipe for peanut butter cookies.

Found this recipe on Pinterest and just made them. They are delicious. Thanks!
I am so sorry! Thanks for catching that. There should be 2 tablespoons of milk. I’m adding that to the list of ingredients. I must have just missed that line….kind of important. ;)
In your instructions, specifically #3, you say to add milk. It I don’t see milk in your ingredients? Was the milk a typo? If not, how much milk should be used?
Thank you! These sound amazing!
This is great we have a ton of butterfingers from Halloween
