Butterfinger Blondies
Butterfinger Blondies are the best blondie recipe with chunks of Butterfinger mixed in. This is the perfect dessert for lovers of Butterfinger candy bars.
- 2¼ cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter
- 2¼ cups packed light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 regular-sized Butterfinger candy bars (8.4-ounces total) (crushed)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 13x9-inch baking pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the butter and brown sugar. Beat in the eggs and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the flour mixture and 1 cup of crushed butterfingers.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining crushed Butterfingers over the top of the batter.
- Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bars are a bit firm to the touch. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
A good blondie recipe is buttery and sweet, and it has a nice, firm texture with a tender bite. This is that kind of blondie recipe. A good amount of Butterfinger candy bar chunks are swirled into these good blondies.
I love making blondies because it’s pretty easy to add things to a blondie and create a new dessert. Eat blondies by themselves, and they’re delicious. Add chocolate chips, and you have a blondie recipe with a little chocolate added in. Add Butterfinger (or another candy bar), and you have an even more decadent treat!
Butterfinger Blondies are a great blondie recipe to bake and bring to a potluck or serve at a party. They’re always the first to go on the dessert table. People really love Butterfingers!

What are Butterfingers?
A Butterfinger is a candy bar created in 1923 in Chicago, Illinois by Otto Schnering. It has a crispy peanut butter core and is covered in chocolate. It’s a popular candy bar in the United States.
How many ounces are in a Butterfinger Candy Bar?
A traditional, full-sized Butterfinger Bar is 2.1-ounces. You’ll need 4 full-size candy bars for this recipe (total of 8.4-ounces). If you have fun size candy bars to work with, those are.74-ounces each. You’d need about 11 1/2 fun size candy bars for this recipe if you’re using those.
How to crush Butterfinger candy bars:
Place Butterfingers in a zip baggie and crush with a mallet or by pressing with the back of a large spoon. Alternately, you can chop them on a cutting board and they’ll fall apart into small pieces pretty easily.
I’m a sucker for recipes that utilize candy bars in one way or another. I’ve tried Milky Way Cake … it calls for 8 full-size Milky Way bars. I swear that cake weighs about 5 pounds (it’s awfully good though.) Hershey’s Perfectly Chocolate Cake is another keeper… just one of those recipes that always turns out, well… ‘perfect.’ My son made a Snicker’s Bar Pie for our County Fair. He won a blue ribbon with that decadent treat. And my absolute favorite Gelato recipe has chunks of Heath Bar swimming inside.
These butterfinger blondies are the best. They’re buttery and gooey with all of those Butterfingers baked into them. Enjoy!
