Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Base:
  • 2 packages refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough
  • 1 cup butter melted and divided
For the Fudge Layer:
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14-oz
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup peanut butter baking chips
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 package Butterfinger baking bits 8-oz, divided

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • 9x13-inch Baking Dish
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough with 1 cup of the melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the cookie base.
  3. In another bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sweetened condensed milk, the remaining melted butter, semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter baking chips, vanilla extract, and half of the Butterfinger baking bits. Stir until everything is well combined.
  4. Pour the fudge mixture over the cookie base, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining Butterfinger bits on top for an added crunch.
  5. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the fudge layer is set and the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on it to prevent overbaking.
  6. Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes. After cooling, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your heavenly Butterfinger Fudge Cookie Bars!
