Butterfinger Cheesecake Bars – A crunchy graham cracker crust, then layered with an outrageous, creamy cheesecake mixed with chopped up butterfingers!
Happy August! It’s Chelsea from Gal on a Mission here again.
Have you ever sat down to enjoy a delectable dessert that makes your mouth water an ohhhh and ahhh with each bites? Me too.
These butterfinger cheesecake bars will do that and make your taste buds explode.
Each bites contains just the right amount of graham cracker crust, the perfect creamy cheesecake layer with enough butterfingers crushed ever so lightly. I may even say these are better and a traditional butterfinger. Think I am kidding – nope!
I am not a huge fan of baking a whole cheesecake, but give me a cheesecake bar and I can make these all…day…long. They are incredibly easy and you do not have to worry about the middle caving in. Scared of baking cheesecake, try these bars!
You will be shocked at how easy and versatile they are!

Instructions
Crust:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line an 8x8 baking dish with aluminum foil and lightly grease. Set aside.

Cheesecake Layer:

Does this recipe use 10 full size butterfinger bars or the miniature halloween ones? Looks delicious and I totally want to make it!
These look AWESOME! When you say “10” butterfingers, what size bar is that?
