Butterfinger Blondie Brownies

Ummm these are decadent or at least that is what I thought the first bite I took!  The bottom layer is like a cookie bar with crushed butterfingers throughout then it's iced with butter cream icing and sprinkled with crushed up butterfingers.  Layers of goodness throughout this delicious dessert! 

I have made these 4 times now and I think each time I am going to take pictures as I go and then I get in the middle of making it only to realize I forgot once again!  They are so easy you will have no trouble!

I made these last week at the Ronald McDonald House where I do a monthly  Kid's Cooking Class for the families staying there.  The kids were so ready to dig in because the smell is so delightful!  I let them cool in the freezer for about 10 minutes then we iced them.  The icing did melt a little bit so do let them cool for at least 30 minutes. 

Oh really if you like peanut butter you need to try these!  There is just enough chocolate for it not to be overwhelming and just enough peanut butter to let you know it's there and then all the sudden you taste that lovely butter cream icing.......heaven!

I am smelling the goodness right now in my house.  I made a batch for my bible study tonight I am going to.
