We are having some pretty stunning weather right now in the Northeast. I feel like even by typing that out I am inevitably dooming myself to another snowstorm or three…but right now it is stunning indeed. Spring doesn’t usually pop in on us until mid-May…but an early March day with temperatures in the 70’s … look I am not complaining. I feel like pulling out all my pastels and getting a pedicure to mark the occasion. Too much? How about pulling out pastel candies and making a sweet treat? That sounds like a mighty fine compromise if I ever heard one. When I saw the new Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Minis I knew I had to work them into a recipe. They are the perfect combination of creamy milk chocolate, smooth peanut butter and crunchy Butterfinger bits. My kids are going to love these in their Easter Baskets this year! And I’m not sure why, but individual desserts scream Spring to me. So I decided to whip up an easy no bake Butterfinger cheesecake filling using the Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Minis. These were really easy to put together and I love them even more because they can be made in advance! Plus they’re individually portioned…everything in moderation, right? The bottom layer is a no-bake graham cracker crust. Just crush up some graham crackers with a little melted butter, a pinch of salt and a teaspoon of sugar… Portion that into your serving cups. Now you can make these as big or little as you would like. I made 6 (4-ounce) cups. You could easily make them bigger or smaller if you prefer. Divide the graham cracker crumbs evenly among the cups and press into the bottoms using your fingers. Whip up your simple cheesecake filling using chopped Butterfinger Cups… Just fold them into the filling… Either spoon or pipe the filling into your cups, and top with more Butterfinger Cups. And of course a little whipped cream on top makes a pretty finish… You COULD stop there. You could. But if you want to really impress your guests lets add some more Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups minis… And chocolate sauce. Why not, right? People will ooh and ahh over this one. You have a crunchy graham cracker crust, a creamy peanut butter filling, Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cup Minis, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. This little splurge is worth every bite, but just in case you start feeling guilty the Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cup Minis now contain no artificial flavors or colors. Win!
