How To Make butterfinger cupcakes

• 
  Step 1
  Unwrap your candy bars. I was slightly disappointed every single bar I purchased was broken. Not that it matters…just saying!
• 
  Step 2
  Using a vegetable peelers, scrap the chocolate off the bars into a bowl, you will use the crumbles later on.
• 
  Step 3
  Finely crush the butterfingers., in a blender if possible, or placing them in a ziplock bag and rolling over with a rolling pin would work. Set aside.
• 
  Step 4
  In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter until soft and creamy.  Then add in peanut butter, mix until combined well.
• 
  Step 5
  Dump in the butterfingers crumbs. Mix until fully combined.
• 
  Step 6
  Slowly mix in powdered sugar. As you can see we’ve lost the bright orange color of the butterfingers. Since looks are a good portion of the brains way to taste…I added in some orange coloring to help it return to the look of butterfingers. Totally optional…
• Step 7
  Once all is mixed well and desired color is achieved add in 1 TBS of milk until you have reached the desired consistency. I used 2 in my icing, as always I like mine to be a bit stiff to hold up to my pipping habits! :)
