I made a gluten free cookie, and used my own cream cheese frosting that I made. I also used a ButterFinger bar, and it was a hit. My son couldn't stop eating it. I have a super easy gluten free peanut butter cookie dough, and this works well. I liked it as well, till I figure out my cals that I ate.

cakepie- its looks like Butterfinger to me.....i am betting you could use Crunch, or maybe a Dove bar, but me personally would use Butterfinger.

I just wanted to know what kind of candy bar they used. Butterfingers? Perhaps like other recipe providers do...they could say.....'such as' and actually name what they used? Or...'we used...'
