Mini Butterfinger Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place mini paper baking cup in each of 70 mini muffin cups. Finely chop enough candy to equal 3/4 cup (about 2 bars).
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and egg whites with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. On low speed, beat in chopped candy just until blended. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (two-thirds full). Refrigerate any remaining cake batter until ready to use.
• Bake 12 to 16 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Frost cupcakes with frosting. Coarsely chop remaining candy. Place candy pieces on frosting, pressing down slightly. Store loosely covered.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 24-count mini muffin tins with paper liners. (Alternatively, use a standard 12-count muffin tin.)
• Add the chocolate sandwich cookies to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the melted butter and pulse until combined.
• In a medium bowl, use an electric hand mixer on medium speed to beat together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until light and fluffy, 5 minutes.
• Assemble the cheesecakes: Scoop ½ teaspoon of the cookie crumb mixture into each paper liner and press down in an even layer. Add ½ teaspoon of the crushed Butterfinger® Bits over the cookie crust. Fill the liner to the top with the cream cheese filling.
• Bake for 15 minutes, or until the mini cheesecakes are light golden brown around the edges. Remove from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill.
• Before serving, add the whipped topping to a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped tip. Pipe a dollop of the whipped topping on top of each mini cheesecake and sprinkle the remaining Butterfinger® Bits on top. Serve cold. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Enjoy!
