Butterfinger Mini Cheesecakes

These creamy Butterfinger Mini Cheesecakes are full of rich peanut butter flavor, chocolate, and cream cheese. Like little cheesecake bites of heaven!

Yes, it’s another peanut butter recipe, but can we really have too many of them? I think not! This is another delicious little cheesecake that was inspired by my last trip to Cheesecake Factory with my family last week. We all got a different slice of cheesecake and sampled each one savoring each and every bite. With all of their candy bar cheesecakes showcased so nicely for all to see, I couldn’t help but make one of my own. So here you have it, little bites of heaven!

Take a peek and make some for yourself! If I haven’t sold you on the mini cheesecake pan from William Sonoma yet, go get one so you can make these! Absolutely worth the $30, I use it all the time. Enjoy.

Peanut Butter-Finger Mini Cheesecakes

1 Cup ground Vanilla Wafers
2 Tablespoons granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon salt

8 oz softened cream cheese
1/4 Cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 Cup sugar
1 egg
2 Tablespoons heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 Fun Size Butterfinger Candy Bars, crushed

1 Cup semi sweet chocolate chips
2-3 Tablespoons heavy cream

2 Fun Size Butterfinger, crushed

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cookie crumbs, sugar, butter and salt into a bowl; mix to combine. Spoon mixture into bottoms of mini cheese cake pan or mini cupcake pan and press. Bake for 10 minutes and remove from oven.

2. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer, beat cream cheese and peanut butter until smooth. Beat sugar, egg, cream and salt until well combined. Slowly stir in crushed Butterfinger. Evenly pour batter over baked crust. Bake for 20-22 minutes or until cheesecake is set. Let cool for 2 hours, then remove from pan.

3. Melt chocolate chips in microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth. Stir in cream until smooth and glossy. If needed, return back to microwave for 15 seconds or so until smooth. Spoon over tops of cakes then sprinkle crushed butterfinger over top.

    Jenny, you are so good. I haven’t been here in a while but have been feeling a dearth of posts in the food blogs I regularly follow, so here I am! And glad I am, too. Though I probably won’t get the W-S pan (goodness, I have gadgets and gizmos a-plenty), how excellent do those cheesecakes look for parties…of one or more?

    Also, great site redesign. I aspire to do the same one day!

  5. Bunny

    oh my goodness! you’re killing me with these! no, one can never have enough of pb recipes to flirt with.
    nicely done!

  13. Katherine Aucoin

    You are an evil woman Jenny! 😉

    These are complete and utter decadence. I think making them mini makes one feel less guily because they are small a cute.

  14. carol

    Oh my……those look like heaven on a plate! Let’s see…I could think of these as “portion control”? Yep…..now to control myself to only eat ONE…
    They look so good…and would you believe I got a mini cheesecake pan at a yard sale for $2.00? Looks like I’m just gonna have to give these a whirl!
