When I was growing up my dad would take me grocery store shopping with him. It was always a fun and special treat to have one-on-one time, even if it was something mundane. He would always get me a candy bar or toy and that made it extra special to me. One of those candy bars was Butterfinger! Here’s an amazing recipe for homemade Butterfinger Cupcakes to remind us all of our childhoods!
