Did you see the Nestle Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups commercial during the Big Game on Sunday? Talk about funny, right? After seeing the commercial I knew I needed to try them. So the next day I headed to Walmart and picked up a couple…well, a few…okay, okay SEVEN packages. Yup, I took on the job of quality control all myself. Don’t worry, I left you some in the checkout lane.



The cups are DI-vine! The peanut butter is super creamy with just the right amount of Butterfinger crunch, and then perfectly coated in Nestle milk chocolate.

After I taste tested the Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups I knew I wanted to include them in a recipe, and stat! I decided to chop them up and put them in a cheesecake dip, that way you get a scrumptious peanut butter chunk with every bite.

This dip is quick and easy to make; it literally comes together in minutes and it’s easy to transport. It’s basically the perfect party food–perfect for game day get-togethers, girls night out, or just snacking at home.

You can serve this dip alongside pretzels, chocolate covered pretzels, vanilla wafer cookies, graham crackers, chocolate covered graham crackers, etc.
