Chocolate Chip Butterfinger Cheesecake Bars
I’m back on track this month…being I posted my Two Sweetie Pies recipe swap a week early last month. Ay, yi, yi… just another reminder to slow down and quit overextending. Do you do that? I love to volunteer in my community, but I bit off more than I could chew this year. Well, these decadent Chocolate Chip Butterfinger Cheesecake Bars made me (and all those who I shared these with) forget my troubles. A chocolate chip cookie dough bottom, topped with Butterfinger candy bars, cheesecake, then more cookie dough. Is your mouth watering yet? It should be!
