FAQ:
Q: Can I use a different type of candy instead of Butterfinger?
A: Yes! You can substitute Butterfinger with other candy bars such as Snickers, Twix, or Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, but it will change the flavor profile of the cheesecake.

Q: Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
A: Yes! Cheesecake tastes even better the next day after it has had time to set and the flavors have melded. You can make it 1-2 days ahead and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Q: Is there a way to make this cheesecake gluten-free?
A: Absolutely! Use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust, and the rest of the recipe remains the same. Just make sure your Butterfinger candy is also gluten-free, as some variations may contain gluten.

This Butterfinger Cheesecake combines the richness of classic cheesecake with the irresistible crunch of Butterfinger bars, creating a decadent dessert that’s perfect for any occasion!
