Butterfinger Blondies

via instagram. everything looks better on that marvelous app.

Two weeks ago was Haley's birthday so obviously I wanted to make her a delicious treat!! Since she doesn't like cake, I needed to make something different but something I knew she'd still love. Every time we go to Nielsen's, she gets butterfingers in her custard, so I figured these butterfinger blondies would be our best bet. Something different AND delicious :) I mean, seriously...just look at that picture....currently drooling.

So today I'm sharing the recipe with all you lucky readers! Honestly, go make them. NOW. And just don't think about how many calories you'll be intaking when you eat one, or two, or three.....
