Butterfinger Cookies

Halloween Candy is everywhere and soon to be flowing out of my kids trick or treat bags like niagra falls. I don’t want my kids eating all of that junk so hubby and I have the difficult job of going though the candy and taking what they really don’t need. It is a horrible job that I would never wish on anyone. LOL In all seriousness we do limit candy at our house, but we do enjoy a treat every now and then. Butterfinger is almost always my hubby’s first pick, so I thought I would surprise him with these goodies tonight.

These Butterfinger cookies are not only quick to throw together but they are a warm chewy peanutbuttery chocolate ball of yum! I personally could just eat the dough, although I know I shouldn’t. So if you are looking for a special gooey treat that is not necessarily waistline friendly these are for you.
