Butterfinger Cups Recipes- #ThatNewCrush For The Game Day Sweet Tooth #shop

Momma Told Me: He can have his, and I'll have mine.

 Whether you're a hardcore, face-painted, flag waiving, finger-crossing, bobble-head owning fan, or a foodie at heart; the American Game Day past-time is beloved by nearly all. Who doesn't love an excuse to gather all of the friends and family and enjoy some seriously good grub? And, with February approaching, we're just one touchdown away from the first big playoffs of the year. Nestle knows just how special this Sunday mega-event is, and they're not disappointing all of their hard core Blue and Gold fans. Just in time for the helmet butting holiday, Butterfinger is letting lose their own Quarterback, recently crowned MVP of snack bowls, 2014, Butterfinger Cups. That's right, the peanut butter cup market just got a whole lot bigger and Butterfinger's ready to show hard core fans just why the little extra snap of smooth and crunchy will be turning even the staunchest of fans by Half Time.

Go ahead, be skeptical. After all, the pigskin wasn't reinvented overnight- but the first time those gleaming white seams soared across that Los Angeles field in 1967, an entire nation was abuzz, and a legion of dedicated fans arose. Launching at Walmart just in time for this year's showdown, this new candy bar is sure to be #ThatNewCrush for peanut butter, crunch, loving fans worldwide. Not only will you be able to catch an exclusive preview of this buttery, crispy, crunchy, chocolatey hero during the upcoming Game Day event, you'll also be able to get your hands on 4 cup Share Packs and original 2 Cup packs for your own personal taste-bud showdown. I've been so inspired by this new Nestle candy favorite that I've devised two Game Day recipes for HIM and HER.

Momma always told me, behind every happy man is a happy woman- So my Game Day 'HIS' pick is also something that busy party planners can whip up with minimal ingredients and hardly any prep time. These Butterfinger Cup Blondies have just 4 ingredients and can be made with pretty much any standard boxed cake mix. Cut out the measuring and sifting and let the box do all the heavy lifting as you mix in 2 added ingredients, and top with generous chunks of all new Butterfinger Cups. Just 15-20 minutes in the oven and you'll have a chewy, melty, peanut butter infused treat that's sure to be a touchdown. Just be sure to have a few extra Butterfinger Cups on hand for all the imminent compliments!

For the woman who wants to enjoy her Game Day just a little bit lighter, between the buffalo chicken dip and pizza, we've created a HERS recipe with a secret ingredient they'll never suspect. Serve your guests this Butterfinger Smoothie and watch them scratch their heads at the genuine Butterfinger flavor, without having a drop of Butterfinger in it. As they hold out their glasses for more of this orange blended treat, you'll happily pour more knowing you're serving a few extra servings of veggies with the top secret ingredient. That's right, carrot juice, blended with peanut butter and low-fat chocolate milk make this one dead-ringer for a certain Nestle candy bar (and now cup). Go ahead and toss a cup on the rim of each glass just to give them a fair comparison, and you may even be the new favorite Game Day host!

What Daughter Says: HIS or HERS, either way, nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger Cups this Game Day!
