Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Butterfinger Bars (gluten-free)

Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Butterfinger Bars (gluten-free) was pinched from <a href="http://www.averiecooks.com/2013/10/chewy-chocolate-peanut-butter-butterfinger-bars.html" target="_blank">www.averiecooks.com.</a>

"A soft, very chewy, rich, dense, chocolate-peanut butter base is topped with a chocolate-peanut butter coating. Then, crushed Butterfinger candy is sprinkled on, before a final drizzle of more chocolate is added. Despite tasting extra buttery and decadent, there's no butter used. According to Nestle, Butterfingers are gluten-free. If you swap out Butterfingers for Peanut Butter cups, the bars are vegan and gluten-free (since Butterfingers are the only thing that's not vegan in the recipe). If you need a fast and easy dessert that's sure to be a huge hit, I highly recommend these. They keep extremely well and can be made in advance, and are one my favorite cereal bars of all time. They're a great way to clear out and repurpose leftover Halloween candy - or Easter, birthday, holiday candy...."
