Butterfinger Brownie Bars (Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Bar)

One of my very favorite candy bars in the whole world (after Reese's Cups) are Butterfinger!

Chocolate with crispy crunchy peanut butter... Oh BOY!

These brownies (they are actually low on flour, so they are simply cookies, but spread out on a small jelly roll pan so they can be cut into squares or bars.

I like to under bake mine so that they come out soft and chewy and gooey inside.

The recipe calls for bittersweet chocolate which combines well with the sweetened chocolate in the candy bar.

One note, the "brownies" will look puffed when you pull them out of the oven.  But know that the brownies will sink and flatten as they cool.

Oh, and the white bits are simply some melted chocolate chips that i Flicked across the bars once they came out of the oven.  No real need except they look better in the photos with the contrasting color.

OK, Here's what I did...
