Butterfinger Cheesecake Brownie Bites are the perfect addition to your on the go meal!
Spring is coming. Hopefully you are starting to see the signs of it already. The daylight is getting a little longer, by the way daylight savings time is coming up, which I am glad for.
Our family looks forward to Spring. The young girls can head back outside to play on their swing set, the older ones head outside to play basketball again with their friends. Spring also means for us more extra circular activities for the kids.
My 15 year old son is starting drivers education, we will have ballet recitals, band performances and Easter vacation coming up. Going in a million directions sometimes you need to just grab some food and go.
On top of that I started a new part time job as a permanent substitute at my daughter’s preschool. We eat snack and lunch everyday so I needed to figure out what to take with me.
So I headed to my local Walmart and started looking around for things that would fit nicely into my lunch box. I get to use a microwave at work so these STOUFFER’S® Pepperoni Pizza Mac Cups were the perfect fit for me! It was ready in 2 minutes and by the time I was back in class it was ready for me to dig in!
While I was shopping I decided to pick up some BUTTERFINGER® NestEggs to make these cheesecake brownie bites! They will come in handy when Easter comes around because these egg shaped milk chocolates are perfect for Easter egg hunts and baskets as well!
There are new ways to enjoy the convenience and comfort of STOUFFER’S® Mac & Cheese whenever you please, so tell me which flavor would you like to carry in your lunch box?

These cupcakes are so pretty, I love butterfinger candies on top of so many layers of goodness. Good luck surviving drivers ed. I know it’s necessary, but it was kind of scary for me at the same time. That period of time gave me a few grey hairs for sure.

It sounds as though you have a busy spring ahead of you! I’ve always loved those Butterfinger eggs and can imagine how good they must be in brownie bites.

So easy to make, but I bet they taste amazing! I know they would be the first thing gone at our Easter gatherings too!

We’re still buried under feet of snow here in the Boston area – so Spring still feels months away! But I already see our calendar filling up with activities too! These brownie bites look delicious!
Andi @ The Weary Chef
A permanent substitute sounds like an oxymoron 😉 I hope you’re liking your new role! I love brownies and cheesecake, so I have to try these. I love how easy they are to make, Nancy!
Brenda West
What size brownie mix do you use? The kind that makes an 8×8 inch pan or the 13×9 inch size.
Nancy P.
Great question Brenda! I used the 13×9 family size box.
