Ingredients:

24 pieces NESTLÉ BUTTERFINGER BITES Candy, chopped
1 container (8 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 package (16.5 oz.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Bar Dough
3 ounces gummy bugs
1 package (1.65 oz.) any flavor WONKA NERDS

Directions:

PREHEAT oven to 325° F. Grease and flour 20 mini muffin cups.

MIX chopped Butterfinger gently into whipped topping; set aside in refrigerator.

SEPARATE dough along pre-scored lines; roll into 20 balls, using two pieces of dough per ball. Place 1 ball in bottom of each prepared muffin cup. Press dough halfway up sides of muffin cups, making indentation in center of dough. Freeze muffin cups for 15 minutes.

BAKE for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Cookies will be puffy. Remove from oven; gently press indentation with a teaspoon. Bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Cool cookies in muffin cups for 5 minutes. Remove to wire rack to cool completely.

FILL each cookie cup with 2 tablespoons whipped topping mixture. Decorate each cookie cup with a gummy bug and sprinkle with Nerds.

This is an excellent idea in lieu of the standard cake theme. The kids would certainly have more fun this way.
Good for Grandchildren

Maureen Vetromila from MOROCCO, IN

I would have rated this recipe better, but my 12 year old grandson had a hard time preparing this; even with me at his side. He want to become a baker/chef when he is old enough so I've been preparing him for the world ahead of him. Maybe he just needs more time to develop. He was upset that it didn't turn out like the picture shown. Sorry....

I made these with my grand daughter and it was fun. I have to try again because they didn't go over the best. Didn't know if I had done something wrong.

I made these for my daughters last day of school party. The 6 girls all had one and said they was good but didn't ask for seconds. I also made them for a church ice cream social. I brought home almost half (maybe there was too many sweets). quick, fun easy to make
Very Good

I made these for my boys birthdays and everyone liked them. The kids liked the decorations on the tops of the cup cakes.

What a great idea for children. Mine loved them and they are 17 and older. Always a child at heart.
Yummy

Krystel Rosales from CHICAGO, IL

I made this recipe for my son's birthday instead of a cake this year not only did the kid's enjoy them but the adults as well. It's a wonderful and easy recipe for birthday parties.

I like to make these with my niece & nephew when they come over for the weekend. Fun, easy to make & even more fun to eat.
LOVE 'EM

Ms. Balschuk from FARMINGDALE, NY

We are not much for NERDS so I took the reader's suggestion of using chopped salted peanuts (THANK YOU!)as a topping. I also added some crushed BUTTERFINGER bar to them and sprinkled that on top. The combination of salt and sweet was PERFECT. A nice dessert to bring to a potluck dinner as both the kids and adults will like them. ( So good that Bart Simpson would help himself to the entire batch!!!)
excellent

kid favorite

Angi Stump from Lebanon, IN

Well, the kids love them, but the sugar buzz they get may leave the parents on edge. You can also use crushed peanuts on top for a saltier taste.
Not just nerds

Thomas S. from Murrieta, CA

When I tried this recipe out I did not really like the nerds on it, so I tried other things. Sprinkles, mini-chocolate chips, or just adding food colouring all work really good as well. I had to make 8 batches for the kids at my sister's B-day party, and almost every batch had a different topping, and they all were big hits (there was no leftovers.)
good

Demetria Medford from Amarillo, TX

Me and my kids love this recipe. I made them for a slumber party and they kids couldn't get enough. We also altered it a little buy putting Butterfinger pieces on top instead of Nerds.
Good and plenty

JOEL TEDDER from FORT DODGE, IA

A very good and tasty buttery finger cookie.

Heather Merluzzi from North Syracuse, NY

Boy the kids loved these! The topping overpowered the cookie cup. Too much sweets in one spot. Were a nice once in a while treat though. For color you could use sprinkles instead of the candy nerds.
