- 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups crushed Butterfinger candy bars (about 8 bars)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- Add Butterfinger and Vanilla: Remove the bowl from the heat and stir in the crushed Butterfinger candy bars and vanilla extract.
