However, they\u2019ve added crunchy toffee pieces with the wafer layers and Butterfinger cr\u00e8me.<\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s interesting they\u2019re now highlighting peanut butter on-pack because all Butterfingers have peanut butter in the first place. They now also tout that there are no artificial flavors or colors and that added colors are from natural sources. Well then, I don\u2019t want to know what was in my Crisp Bar back in the day. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/butterfincrisp2.jpeg?resize=500%2C336&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"336\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-52048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/butterfincrisp2.jpeg?resize=500%2C336&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/butterfincrisp2.jpeg?resize=300%2C202&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/butterfincrisp2.jpeg?resize=768%2C516&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/butterfincrisp2.jpeg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I bought the Fun Size pack because I was greedy and raiding the Easter chocolate section.

You can see the toffee only sits on the top, so as expected, it doesn\u2019t really translate like it does when eating a non-Crisp Bar. Overall, there\u2019s less crunchety (aka no toffee bits stuck in your teeth) than a regular Butterfinger but there\u2019s still a satisfying crispiness as you can hear loud and clear in the BSB cover video. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/butterfincrisp3.jpeg?resize=500%2C417&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"417\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-52050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/butterfincrisp3.jpeg?resize=500%2C417&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/butterfincrisp3.jpeg?resize=300%2C250&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/butterfincrisp3.jpeg?resize=768%2C641&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/butterfincrisp3.jpeg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It tastes really similar to the Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups &#8211; maintaining that trademark Butterfinger taste but with a smoother finish. The last flavor is the creamy, sweet chocolate coating. But I think it\u2019s less sweet because of the wafer addition and the lack of crystalized toffee sugar-bomb bits. I personally don\u2019t like my chocolate leaving a sickly sweet back-of-throat aftertaste, so I was totally into the chocolate on the bar! <\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t expect to, but I really enjoyed these. I even thought to myself &#8211; if I was a kid at trick-or-treating age, I\u2019d love to have a jack-o-lantern full of these. Wrong time of year, I know, but that\u2019s how much I enjoyed them.  <\/p>\n<p>My only request though: I\u2019d love for Nestle to make a 2 lb Butterfinger Peanut Butter Crisp Bar so I can indulge in my sweet-tooth-Butterfinger dreams.
