I get inspiration every single day from the food I eat out, or by recipes I stumble across online. It’s the way that most of my own recipes are born. So, when I first saw these new, premium Nestle Toll House Baking Mixes, I knew I had to have them! I got excited as idea after idea popped into my head! They are versatile mixes you can bake as is, or you can add your own special twist to them! If you aren’t able to find these, or don’t want to use them, you can use any brownie mix or recipe you like and mix in crumbled Butterfinger candy.
There are four different Nestle Toll House Baking Mixes: Brownies & More with Butterfinger Bits, Brownies & More with Chocolate Morsels, Cookies & More with Butterfinger Bits, and Cookies & More with Chocolate Morsels. Since every person in my house loves peanut butter and chocolate, I decided to try out the Brownies & More with Butterfinger Baking Bits first. I, myself, have been craving cheesecake lately so it only made sense that I should combine the two.
I decided to use the Nestle Toll House Baking Mix as a “crust” for what I am calling Butterfinger Brownie Cheesecake Bars. You get a full cup of Butterfinger baking bits so I used half in the brownie mix and saved the other half to use as a topping! I wanted a thinner bottom to my bars so I divided the mixture between two 8-inch square pans, but you could totally make them thicker if that’s your preference. I included instructions for both methods down below.
Then. I topped the Butterfinger brownie crust with a no-bake cheesecake that’s super simple to whip up! It’s just four ingredients! Four! I have to tell you, this was so much easier than traditional cheesecake and the final result was delicious!
Finally, I put the remaining Butterfinger baking bits all over the top, pressed them in slightly, and put the whole pan in the refrigerator for about 3 hours before cutting into bars.
The final results were better than I even imagined! I tried the brownie portion by itself and it was amazing even on its own! For me, the cheesecake portion just made it that much better! Two of my favorites combined into one decadent treat?!? Yes, please!
My 9-year-old son, Jaxon, told me he doesn’t like cheesecake. My fiance, Daryl, has told me he doesn’t like it either, nor does he like brownies. Both were still willing to try these Butterfinger Brownie Cheesecake Bars and guess what? Yep! Jaxon said “These are GOOD!” and Daryl’s response was “I guess I like them together?” Yes, yes you do. Because the entire first pan is gone and I only ate two!
I’d definitely encourage you to give these Butterfinger Brownie Cheesecake Bars a try and then explore your own creative side with all the other Nestle Toll House Baking Mixes!

Looks so great! Will have to try these for the next get-together! Great pics too! We love anything Butterfinger around my house, butterfinger pie is one of my husband’s faves. Its only a graham cracker crust, 1 stick of cream cheese softened, and a container of cool whip, and 4-5 butterfingers folded into that after you mix it. SOOO easy and yummy!
That sounds good!

Holy sweetness! I haven’t used a boxed mix in years but this Butterfinger Cheesecake looks AMAZING! I’m not allowed sweets anymore since starting chemotherapy but this would be at the top of my must-do list if I was able to! Definitely sharing!
I don’t use box mixes often either (except cupcakes occasionally bc for some reason everyone raves about how my cupcakes always turn out so good even though all I do is follow the directions lol). Good luck with your treatments – hopefully you’re feeling better soon adn definitely get the ok to enjoy some sweets again <3
Oh my! I need this in my life… right now!
I’m drooling over this post! These look and sounds amazing! A perfect Friday treat 🙂
I can’t believe how good these look! I’ll have to see if they have a gluten free mix and let my kids help in the kitchen 🙂
THey don’t have a gf mix, but you could just use the Butterfinger bits in any gf brownie mix or recipe 🙂

OMG Butterfingers are the best!!! Definitely one of my favorite candy bars so I love any recipe that includes them.
This sounds so amazing. Adding this to my recipe box for the holiday season!
I’ve been craving brownies for the longest time. I have yet to make a pan. I’ll definitely be looking into this box from Nestle. They have them at our local supermarket, too!
They are all over right now! The Butterfinger was really good! I have the chocolate morsels one but haven’t made it yet!
This sounds delicious. I would look forward to taking a bite. Yummy!
