Butterfinger Recipes

So yesterday I shared what I stocked up on at Walgreen's and what I will be going back to get more of: Butterfinger Candy Bars!

Here are a few fun ideas for them and a good reason to stock up! I would have to say the last recipe is the most frugal as the ingredients are often on sale (cake mixes for less than $.75, Cool Whip free with double coupons and Instant pudding practically a steal)...and it is a darned impressive presentation if you take it to a party! What you see pictured is the first dessert - Enjoy!

**Hint! Put all your candy bars in the freezer. When you're ready to use them, take them from the freezer. Leave the wrappers on and take a mallet or a hammer and smash them inside the wrappers. Keep cool until you need them.

Butterfinger Cake
Ingredients
1 box German Chocolate Cake Mix (baked according to package directions)
5 Butterfinger candy bars
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 can sweetened condensed milk
Cool Whip for topping
Chocolate Syrup

Bake the cake according to package directions and in a 13 x 9 inch pan. When it's done, and while it's still hot, punch holes in the cake and pour the sweetened condensed milk over the top making sure some of it sinks in the holes. Do the same with the caramel ice cream topping. Sprinkle on some of the broken candy pieces. When it's cool, spread the Cool Whip topping on the top, and then sprinkle the rest of the broken bars. Then drizzle more caramel all over and then drizzle chocolate syrup all over in zig zags.
