The Butterfinger one will have Butterfinger crumbles, graham cracker cookies, Toll House peanut butter flavored morsels, and peanuts. The Buncha Crunch will have Buncha Crunch pieces, chocolate chip cookies, Toll House Premier White Morsels and peanuts. Finally, the Raisinets version will have milk chocolate Raisinets, shredded coconut, and peanuts.
