I was thinking peanut butter cookies, maybe with some mini chocolate chips. Then one of my co-workers brought in some leftover Halloween candy and there were a couple of Butterfingers in the mix. I thought they might be good chopped up in the cookies. They'd be a little less chocolatey than mini chocolate chips and of course add some more crispity crunchity peanut butter flavor. So I stopped to pick up a bag of fun-sized Butterfingers on my way home.

I loooove peanut butter cookies. I never thought to put butterfingers in them, seems like it would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou know... they don't really taste very Butterfingery... just like a really good peanut butter cookie, with a little bit of chocolate. You might get more Butterfinger flavor if you put them in a sugar cookie.
ReplyDeleteI've never really been a huge sugar cookie fan... But I bet even without tasting that Butterfingery the candy adds something to the cookies. Heh, sounds like something only science can solve. I'll make a batch and only put Butterfingers in half of them, see whats what. You know, as a test. To increase the sum of human knowledge. ;)
