Remove mixing bowl, add the chopped Butterfinger®
Using clean hands, fold the Butterfinger® into the cookie dough
Press cookie dough into an 8×8″ baking pan greased and lined with parchment paper. Make sure the paper hangs over the sides so it’s easy to lift out.

Sprinkle with the chopped Butterfinger®

Notes
*Raw flour can make you sick, heat treat it before adding to no-bake. Spread the flour onto a parchment lined baking sheet, bake for 5 minutes at 350°F, cool completely before using.
**Bars keep best when kept refrigerated
