Butterfinger Icebox Cake

Butterfinger Icebox Cake is a no-bake dessert made with Famous Chocolate Wafers, peanut butter, whipped cream, crushed Butterfinger and molasses.

As you make it, you’ll notice the molasses tastes strong at first (because naturally you’ll sample as you go….you should) but it mellows after sitting. Molasses and butter extract are two flavors in Butterfinger….that’s why I used those things. You could leave them out, but it won’t be quite as butterfingery. Here’s a photo. Sorry it’s not very pretty, but I’m short on time today. Just know that yours will look much more beautiful.

Oh, by the way. I hope you like Cool Whip. If not, well. Whoops. Actually, I think sweetened whip cream (I’ll assume all non-Cool Whip fans know how to make this….because I’m in a hurry) would probably work well too.

Anyway. This isn’t so much a recipe as a concoction. As with all concoctions, improvisation is key so feel free to adjust the amounts of everything.

Mini Butterfinger Icebox Cake

1 1/3 cups whipped topping, divided use
1/2 of a regular size Butterfinger bars, crushed (little over an ouce) of course you can use more
2 teaspoons peanut butter
1/8 teaspoon butter extract
1/8 teaspoon molasses
12 Nabisco Famous Wafer Cookies

In a mixing bowl, stir together 2/3 cup of the whipped topping, crushed Butterfinger, peanut butter, butter extract and molasses. Spoon mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls onto wafer cookies, stacking to make two stacks with 6 cookies each. Set the stacks next to each other and cover them with remaining whipped topping. Chill for at least 4 hours.

Garnish with something — remaining crushed candy or chocolate syrup.
