avatarButterfinger Cake Recipe

By Joanna Maligaya on January 4, 2012 | Comments (0)

Everything good in life is either illegal, immoral, or fattening, or so they say.  Butterfinger Cake can be cold hard (and yummy!) proof to that, but so be it. After all, it’s not so bad to indulge once in a while in something that you know can’t do your figure any good.

Butterfinger® is a candy bar made by Nestlé which has a crumbling and orange-colored center that can be compared to crisp caramel and peanut butter and it is covered in chocolatey coating. It has been around for decades and is a darling to many.

This cake recipe is such a guilty pleasure most especially to those who love Butterfinger candy bar per se.

Butterfinger Cake
 
• 1 box German chocolate cake mix
• 8 ounces butterscotch topping for ice cream
• 2 large Butterfinger® candy bars
• 1 large carton whipped topping
• 1 cup pecans, chopped
 
Mix cake according to package directions, and bake in a 9×13-inch pan. While cake is still hot, pour butterscotch topping over cake, poking small holes in cake so that topping can soak in. Cool completely. Crush Butterfinger bars. Reserve 1/2 of one bar and mix the rest into a large carton of whipped topping along with the pecans. Spread over cooled cake, and top with reserved Butterfinger. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Enjoy!

avatarPeanut Butter and Chocolate

By Bryn Kirk on August 14, 2010 | Comments (0)

You can probably guess what PB&J means.  Peanut Butter and Jelly.  PB&J is a classic American combination mostly reminiscent of childhood.  Now that you are grown up, I suggest you switch to a more sophisticated flavor combination – Peanut Butter and Chocolate.  Can we call it PB&C?

The most accepted theory of who put peanut butter and chocolate together is the story of H.B. Reese.  Mr. Reese started out as a dairy employee for Hershey Chocolate Company in the 1920’s.   He soon ventured out to start his own company and began to manufacture a single product called peanut butter cups, known today as REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups.

The variety and popularity of recipes that are made with the peanut butter and chocolate combination are numerous.  You can find the pairing in granola, ice cream, cake, brownies, chocolate truffles, melt-a-ways, candy bars, cookies, pie, fudge, and mousse.  Whew – I am certain I missed something.

Here is a great recipe recommended by many who enjoy the chocolate and peanut butter combination for breakfast…

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins
 
2/3 cup peanut butter, chunky or smooth
2 tablespoons butter, melted
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 cup milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
 
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and melted butter; stir until well blended. Mix in sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Combine flour with baking powder and baking soda. Add to peanut butter mixture along with milk and chocolate chips. Stir just until combined.
 
Spoon batter into 12 paper-lined muffin tins. Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until muffins spring back when lightly touched in center. Serve warm or at room temperature.
