Quick! While you still have some leftover Halloween candy!

½ cup butter
¾ cup white sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 ¼ cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup flour
½ tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
5 little Butterfinger candy bars (Halloween size)

Mix butter, sugars, eggs, peanut butter. Sift dry ingredients, add to butter mixture and stir well. Crunch up candy bars and add and mix.

Form dough into 1 ½ inch balls and bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 10 minutes at 350◦.

Variation:
Peanut Buttercup Cookies: Substitute chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups for Butterfingers.

You’ll be sorry you found out about these cookies because they are so addictive. They are apparently best eaten the next day, but they rarely make it that long.
