Butterfinger Blondie Bars

Last week we celebrated Ryan's birthday here at the house, and when we do this the kids always get to pick what dessert they want.  So we looked around on Pinterest and he chose to try these Butterfinger Blondies!  Turned out that Ryan and my husband really liked them the most.  Once I got to looking at the ingredients I decided I didn't really want the butter cream icing for the topping.  I ended up using a cool whip/cream cheese type topping that I use in another dessert I make.  It tasted really good, but in my mind the two did not go together.  The topping has to be refrigerated therefore this made the Blondie part more firm than I cared for.  I think I would prefer just making the Blondie part and topping it with vanilla ice cream and butterfingers.  Even with all this being said it was yummy and probably something I'll make again!
