Butterfinger Cheesecake Recipe – No Bake!

So while I had fun making my Reese’s Cheesecake I decided to experiment and try another kind of cheesecake with another favorite candy bar of mine! The extra tasty yummy Butterfinger Bar. I bet your intrigued already, right?

There are a couple of things I changed about this recipe, such as in my cheesecake filling I thought that it might be good to change out the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips. Which was a smart move because peanut butter cheesecake filling is extra divine! Only I will point out it was a bit stiffer to mix than the chocolate chips were. For this one I topped it with whip topping, but I am considering trying it with chocolate syrup, I bet that would be a really great option too. This recipe is still super easy and best of all NO BAKE!

So far my test audience meaning myself, the boys and my sister have said that this one is extra yummy and rich!
