Introduction to the Classic Butterfinger Candy Bar
As most people know, the Butterfinger candy bar is a classic American treat. It's a delicious combination of rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter, all wrapped up in a crisp, flaky shell. But what you may not know is that the original Butterfinger recipe was actually developed in Sweden!
That's right - the first Butterfingers were created by Swedish confectioners Jöns Jacob Berzelius and Carl Peter Henning. The pair emigrated to the United States in the early 1900s, and eventually landed in Chicago, where they started a small candy shop. It was there that they came up with the idea for the Butterfinger.
The Berzelius and Henning team worked tirelessly to perfect their recipe, and after much trial and error, they finally got it just right. The very first batch of Butterfingers was sold in 1923, and they quickly became a hit with both kids and adults alike.
Nowadays, you can find Butterfingers all over the world - including in my home country of Sweden! And while the classic candy bar will always have a special place in my heart, I have to admit that I'm also a big fan of Butterfinger cupcakes.
These tasty treats are made with real buttercream frosting, chopped up bits of Butterfinger candy bar, and a drizzle of chocolate on top. They're perfect for parties or any other special occasion - and trust me, they're sure to be
