Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, sugar, brown sugar, and creamy peanut butter until fluffy. Gradually mix in the egg whites.

  4. Gently fold in the crushed Butterfingers.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  7. Once cupcakes are cool, frost with peanut butter frosting and drizzle warm ganache on top.
