How to make Butterfinger Bars:
Make Batter: Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and light. Add vanilla and eggs and mix well. Mix in flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in chopped Butterfinger bits. Spread: Press dough into a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake: Place pan in oven and bake at 350°F for 24-26 minutes, until the center of the bars are JUST set. Cool completely before frosting. Make Frosting: Beat together peanut butter and butter on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add vanilla and mix. On low speed, add in the remaining ingredients, then increase the speed to medium-high and beat for 1-2 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
