BUTTERFINGER BUTTERCREAM:

Ingredients

1/2 cup room temp butter (1 stick)
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2 1/2 – 3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup chopped Butterfinger Bars (approx 4 “Fun Size” bars)

Instructions

Cream the butter and shortening together until smooth.
Add in you powdered sugar on low speed.  Turn speed up to medium and mix until smooth
Stir in your chopped Butterfinger. (I sprinkled mine on top rather than stirring them in!) NOTE: I did half in the frosting and half sprinkled on top.  Will do it again that way.
Spread on your cooled blondies

Preparation time: 5 minute(s)


NOTE:  I baked my blondies for only 20 minutes and they were a bit more done around the edges than I would have liked them to be – will try 16-18 minutes next time.  This recipe was found on Pinterest and came from http://sixsistersstuff.blogspot.com/2011/08/butterfinger-blondies.html.  Very good reviews following my office party this afternoon.
