Butterfinger confectionary - how the hell is this still consumed?
- Thread starter hwarang
- Start date
Inside the chocolate coating is a piece of hard candy consisting of a lot of thin layers of a caramel/peanut butter candy. Those layers are fragile and break into a bunch of tiny pieces as you bite into it. However, as you chew, the tiny bits of peanut butter-flavored candy become very sticky and start to adhere to your teeth like gum. By the time you finish eating the bar, the candy has formed a thick layer over your molars that doesn't want to come off.
I never liked them. Not enough to actually prefer it over other candy bars. The only other candy bar that's worse are Mounds.
I'm not sure why but I actually don't like the crunch. It also feels dry as hell. It's weird.

They taste fine but they're not worth the trouble with how much they stick to teeth. Same sort of thing with swedish fish.
Also my dad wrote a lot of those simpson butterfinger commercials, those were good days. Nestle sent him a giant box of butterfingers and crunch bars. I only wanted the crunch bars.

Ahhh okay, thanks. I hate when stuff sticks to your teeth like that.
This is so wildly over-exaggerated it's verging on the Taco Bell gave me the runs meme.
While I disagree with the notion that this is the ONLY good thing to come from butterfingers, I do agree it is the superior evolution.Butterfinger Cups are the only good thing to come of them
Edit: also what's with y'alls baby teeth, c'mon
You should feel bad.Even as a kid I knew to stay away from butterfingers. Shit stuck to your teeth and was bad news.
They're better as a dessert topping than on their own.
I guess sort of like dense, flaky peanut butter toffee that sticks to your teeth.

I recall an episode of the Simpsons (I think it was the one where Marge got sugar banned in Springfield) where the cops were burning a bunch of candy in a big bonfire. They threw some Butterfingers in, and the fire spat them back out. Quoth Chief Wiggum, "Not even the fire wants them."
It always disappoints me when I see that scene and they've cut out the Butterfinger part. I've heard it cost them the Butterfinger deal, but that was a good line.

It's a crispy flaky peanut butter candy piece coated in chocolate. If you've had a Cadbury Crispy Crunch, Chick-O-Stick, Zagnut, 5th Avenue, or Clark Bar, they have similar in them (but taste different).
I like em. Agree with the teeth thing, though.
I've always wondered if that was a reference to something.
I think they're making a comeback since Nestle sold them off.

Butterfingers when fresh (as opposed to having sat on a shelf for months) are top 3 mass market candy bar material, easily.
Many years ago for a brief glorious period there was also Butterfinger Milk, which is a thing I would commit horrible atrocities to have again.

I love Butterfingers but I eventually got sick of everything sticking to your teeth and gave up on them. I'll maybe eat a fun sized one from the Halloween candy, but that's about it now.

Yeah these are legit awesome.
I was never a fan of Butterfingers either, but I did like the Crisp version they had.
Upon looking up this image I've learned that it's apparently back so I guess I'll grab one soon.

But It's not better than a reeses
That monstrosity you posted was introduced in 1930. Butterfingers came out in 1923.So the knock off version of this?
Yeah they both suck. But butterfingers suck more due to being invented afterwards.
There are three well known varieties of this candy bar.
The Clark bar came first and would be my preference even though I haven't eaten any of these since I was a child.
I've seen 1912 as a date for the Crispy Crunch 😐That monstrosity you posted was introduced in 1930. Butterfingers came out in 1923.
