Butterfinger Cheesecake Bars have an oreo crust and a cheesecake filling with tons of crushed butterfinger candies. Not only are these cheesecake bars delicious, they are fabulously easy to make.

This recipe for Butterfinger Cheesecake Bars is so much simpler and quicker than making a whole cheesecake. Plus it’s really adaptable. You could totally change this recipe up and use any type of chopped candy. Snickers, peanut butter cups, and Milky Ways would all be good.

To make Butterfinger Cheesecake Bars, you’ll first make an oreo crust and bake it for 8 minutes.. You can either use a 8-inch square pan or a 9-inch square pan.

The cheesecake filling is just a simple mixture of cream cheese, sugar, eggs, sour cream, vanilla extract, and crushed butterfingers.

Don’t stress if you end up with less than 1 1/2 cups of crushed butterfingers. One cup will do. I just like to go heavy on the butterfingers because I am obsessed with them.

Your bars will need about 35 to 45 minutes to bake and then you will need to cool them for an hour and refrigerate them for 4 hours before serving. That’s the only thing I don’t like about cheesecake bars. No instant gratification. But they are well worth the wait.

Recipe Tips:

If you overbake these cheesecake bars, the top may crack as it is cooling. You want to pull them out of the oven when the middle is still SLIGHTLY jiggly in the middle when you shake the pan. Once refrigerated, it will completely set up.
