These Dark Chocolate Butterfinger Cookies are for the serious chocolate lover in you. Make sure you have a big glass of milk ready for when that cookie craving hits.
Let's take a moment to discuss fashion. How many of you have heard of Spankz? Basically, it is a very tiny undergarment that squeezes the life out of you so you can look good in your clothes.
I found a couple of cute dresses a few months ago that I liked, but they were just a teeny tiny bit too snug. I had high hopes that I would stick to the exercise routine and give up eating cookies, so I decided to buy some. Yeah...neither of those happened in time for me to wear the dresses without help. Time to go shopping for a Spankz. I was curious to see how well they would really work. My daughter and I headed to the mall with some friends. After having a great lunch and some fun shopping, we headed to Kohl's to see if we could find the undergarment that I was looking for. After I picked myself up off the floor from sticker shock, I grabbed a few sizes to try on. How can something so small cost so much money? It's crazy!
Just so you know, I had a complete workout in the dressing room. I worked up a sweat just trying to wiggle in and out of those torture devices. These things cause emotional and physical distress. Emotional because you feel like a giant whale trying to get your body into a piece of clothing that looks like it was made for a 10-year-old. The physical distress comes from sweating buckets while you are supposedly on a fun shopping trip. Exercise and shopping should never go in the same sentence.
Want to know something that should go in the same sentence? Dark chocolate and Butterfinger! That is one combo that should go together all the time. My daughter always gets this combo when we go to Coldstone Creamery. She never changes what she gets. This made me think of putting the two things together in one delicious cookie.
Let me tell you, this dark chocolate cookie was absolutely perfect. They were rich and soft and full of Butterfinger candy chunks. I suggest buying milk at the same time as the rest of your ingredients. They may be rich, but they were just right to dig into after a traumatic shopping trip.

My husband would die if I made these! He loves butterfingers. Sounds like you had quite an adventure. LOL. I've never been brave enough to try spanx.

Ari @ Ari's Menu says
I'll take the whole stack please. LOVE the dark chocolate and butterfinger together!

Thanks!! You'd love these then!!
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel says
Spanx give me the shivers. Anything that's too constricting (even if it will make me look 20 pounds lighter) gives me a panic attack. I have had full-on bawling sessions in dressing rooms because I got stuck inside of clothing. It's so bad! I begin freaking out thinking I'm going to live the rest of my days with my head half-protruding from a dress neckline, haha. I totally want these cookies to help with the PTSD from shopping!
Jocelyn @ BruCrew Life says
Oh geez!! Then spankz are not for you my friend!! 😉 I promise these cookies will help with your PTSD!!
Victoria B. says
I don't know which one would be harder wiggling into the spankz (the torture device for women) or giving up cookies. Butterfingers are my second favorite candy bar. I can't wait to try this!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
As scary as that spankz was, giving up cookies would be scarier!!! 😉
Tanya Schroeder says
I'm not sure I could handle squeezing myself into Spankz! Scary thought! Jocelyn, I have an intense love for Butterfingers!!! These cookies look awesome!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thanks!! And yeah, The spankz trying on was quite traumatic! 😉
Chels R. says
I used to hate butterfingers when I was a kid. And then slowly, the peanut butter thing has worn me down and I'm a closet chocolate and peanut butter fan. These look amazing! I love love love dark chocolate so these I'm going to have to try!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thanks!! I'm glad you have joined the dark side of peanut and chocolate with us 😉
Elaine @ Cooking to Perfection says
I love how dark and rich these look!! The darker the better when it comes to chocolate. And adding BF in the batter can only make them THAT much better. Might need to purchase some Spankz after making these cookies. 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Noooo! Don't get spankz! Haha
Nicole @ Young, Broke and Hungry says
I have always been curious if Spanx actually makes you look slimmer, it seems like so much work to wiggle in and out of one. Dark chocolate plus butterfingers though is a dangerous combination. I wont be able to stop at one!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
It was so awful, I didn't even care if it made me look slimmer! 😉 They really are addicting cookies!
Brenda @ SweetSimpleStuff says
I ordered fake Spanks (a size too big) online ... can't get into them ... they're in my closet and I don't know why!
I'm going to make your cookies and I do know why ... the hubby loves Butterfingers 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Oh no!! Lol, this comment made me giggle a little! Stinkin fake spankz! But really, you weren't missing much because the real spankz is awful!! Yes, make lots of these cookies and lets just forget we ever heard of spankz!!
Happy Valley Chow says

Averie @ Averie Cooks says
I dont wear spankx because they just seem like wayyyyy too much work. I'd work up a sweat getting into them. lol
Beautiful cookies. I love dark choc. And BFingers! Perfect combo. Pinned!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thank you!! Good choice on the spankz! 😉
Jess @ On Sugar Mountain says
Bahahaha I had to have multiple spanks for cheerleading and I remember, as I was not the tiniest of the ladies out there, having some serious issues with those. Eventually I just bought leggings and got rid of those "torture devices" heehee.
BUT ON A HAPPIER NOTE - dude Jocelyn these cookies are chocoholic approved for sure 😀
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thanks! Multiple spankz?? Yikes!! Good for you for getting leggings! 😉
Jennifer @ Not Your Momma's Cookie says
Spanx are pretty traumatizing, aren't they? Consoling yourself with cookies sounds like a great plan! 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Totally!! It was a great way to make myself feel better 😉
Karly says
First of all, you totally didn't need the spankz. Second of all, I really wanted to watch you wiggle in and out of that thing, in a totally non-creepy way. Third, these cookies are probably going to mean spankz for all of us, all the time!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Haha, thank you!! 😉
danielle says
YUM! These look great!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thanks!!
Tieghan says
These Cookies look great!! I am not normally into butterfingers, but I could surely eat them in a cookie that looks like that!
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thanks!! 😉
Nancy P.@thebittersideofsweet says
Your story is exactly why I never go shopping!!
I bet these are fantastic! With the butterfingers! Oh my.....
Jocelyn Brubaker says
Thank you!! I MIGHT have to take a break from shopping for awhile after that experience! 😉
