Teams are practicing and playing each other now.
Tossing the ole pigskin around…
haha that makes me sound like I know what I’m talking about, right?
Ok, maybe not so much.
I have to be honest here.
I really have no interest in football. I mean it’s ok.
But when my hubby turns on the game, I have to have something else I can work on.
Flowers for my shop (The Trendy Owl 
or cookbooks to read through.
Sometimes I get up and go make goodies…he doesn’t even notice that I’m gone most times.
Now just because I’m not into the game doesn’t mean I don’t support it…
I like to make food for those days.
Yup, football food…that’s something I can get behind 100%.
Mini cheesecakes are always a winning treat on game days.
Small and bite sized and full of lots of candy.
Just the way I like them.
See, I told you they were full of candy.
A whole bag of chopped up butterfingers are going into these.
Just so you know, the cheesecakes will fall slightly when you take them out of the oven.
That’s totally ok.
Remember: it gives us more room for the fluffy peanut butter mousse and more candy!
More candy is always better in my books.
Ok, and the best thing about these cheesecakes…
they double as medicine when you have a cold and just aren’t feeling the best.
Not that I would know that or anything:-)

OMG these were so amazing! We fought over the leftovers! Alyssa wanted to know when it’s on your blog so we can make some!! whoohooo!!
Okay, these are totally the best meds EVER! Seriously, they could cure whatever ails ya, and for me, that means squelching my intense Butterfinger craving all the time. I love the stuff! And topping mini Butterfinger cheesecakes with mousse? How awesome is that!?
I came over to tell you that I made your 100Grand Rice Krispie Treats and they were incredible. But I find this? Holy heck! Now I want to make these too. Delicious!!!
I love BFs and I what perfect layers you made – little cupcakes, lots of layers – you have very steady hands b/c they’re perfect!
Thank goodness for paper liners that definitely help with getting the layers just right:-)
Holy cow … Butterfingers are my favorite candy! And I am also on “football food” duty at our house … you better believe these will make an appearance!
Oh you are killing me here! WANT NOW.
Just found your blog from Pinterest, and oh my goodness! These and so many others look so yummy! Thanks for sharing!
When I saw these on Instagram I was hoping a recipe would be coming soon. Butterfingers are one of my favorite candies and pairing them with cheesecake and mousse sounds amazing.

Yup, I agree – I think you should bake more during football. These are awesome. I tend to catch way up on my reading during football season!
1) Ca-UTE liners!!!! 2) I’ve been dying for this recipe ever since you instagrammed. Thanks
Hee! I’ve had those same liners and coasters in my baking pantry for weeks, trying to figure out how to best put them to use–I think I’ve just figured it out! Cheesecake with Butterfingers?!? You are totally speaking my language! I hope you start feeling better soon–surely these little yummies will help get you on the mend!
They are the cutest liners! Cheesecake and butterfingers is totally my language too…glad we are speaking the same thing:-)
My problem would be that I’d eat all the Butterfingers before they had a chance to cover these little beauties! Oh my gosh, this is a spectacular dessert! Yeah, who needs football when you have Butterfinger Mousse to eat!
I would suggest buying 2 bags before you make these then:-) I agree, who needs football when we have great treats!!!
Hey Jocelyn you just scored big time with this touchdown treat! (gawd i hope i didn’t make you more ill with the silly pun-hehe)
These are AMAZING !!
I love white chocolate with cream cheese.
I should know better by now and try to avoid seeing your delicious sweets in the middle of the night…:)
White chocolate is pretty amazing with cream cheese. And yes, seeing sweets late at night is never a good thing:-)
These look amazing and I will be make them next week!! Thanks for sharing such a great recipe!!
I like the looks of these!! Thanks for sharing! Deb
Wow! Seriously?? Do I have to have football on while baking these? We’re really not football people in this household. I really hope it’s not a requirement. They look too good not to try!
Holy heck. Those. Look. Awesome. Can’t wait to try these! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
You definitely should try these…let me know how they turn out:-)
I need these in my life..like RIGHT now! Thanks for yet another recipe I’m going to have to make.

Jocelyn, hope you’re feeling better. I noticed you made like 24 of theses scrumptious babies, did you save me one? I do feel a little cold coming on (cough, cough.) Send me some “medicine.” Honestly, these would make anyone get over whatever is ailing them. Pinned!
I wish I could tell you that I didn’t eat all the ones in my fridge trying to make my cold feel better!!! They did help while I was in the middle of eating them…just don’t tell my jeans how many I really ate:-)
Looks so goooooood! I’m pinning!

You can never go wrong with cheesecake!!! Thank you so much for the pin!!!
CAN I JUST LEAVE OUT THE BUTTERFINGER CANDIES IN THE ENTIRE RECIPE? OR IT WONT BE GOOD?
You could leave out the Butterfingers and it would still bake up fine. It will be a white chocolate cheesecake with a peanut butter mousse then.
