Butterfinger brownies

Tweet

My favorite candy bar is a butterfinger. My favorite dessert is a brownie. I love baking and creating new recipes, so I figured I'd try to make a butterfinger brownie. I didn't use the candy bar. Instead, I decided to create the butterfinger taste on my own. I took a from-scratch recipe for brownies, subtracted the cocoa, and added my two secret ingredients. The first batch (day 1) didn't turn out as planned. They were tasty, just not sweet enough and didn't have enough of my second secret ingredient. The second batch (day 2) turned out delicious and rich, but not butterfinger. They were close, but not close enough for me. I wasn't about to give up there. The third batch (day 3) came out perfect!! Everyone I gave them to said they tasted just like a butterfinger without the crunch. Have you ever had a great idea for a new dessert or dish? Did you have to try over and over again to make it perfect? Did you lose sleep at night thinking about what would make it perfect? What new types of desserts or dishes have you created?
