I might be a wee-bit obsessed. With cheesecake, of all things.
Which, actually is a GOOOOOD thing, but really, why can't I be obsessed with Kale? Or Flax Seed? Or Chickpeas? (I don't know - those are the first three healthy-like things that popped into my cheesecake-obsessed head.)
This cheesecake, you guys - it's awesome. It's easy. It goes together in no time, and you can change it up with your favorite add-ins, toppings, and crust. Today, it happens to be a chocolate cookie crust, chocolate fudge topping, and BUTTERFINGER® mix-ins.
Let's just pause for a moment and let that sink in.

Folks, Halloween is right around the corner. Time to hoard those BUTTERFINGER® bars!
Speaking of Halloween, this recipe is actually just perfect for your spooky festivities. It's a given that my candy dish is always full of BUTTERFINGER® bars on Halloween, but when your guests see a BUTTERFINGER® cheesecake, you won't even have to wear a super hero costume. You will instantly be upgraded to super-hero status, no cape required.
BUTTERFINGER® has a new product - BUTTERFINGER® Peanut Butter Cup Minis - and when I found them at Wal-Mart last week, the wheels were already turning. They're soft, so I knew they'd be a perfect mix-in for my favorite cheesecake recipe.
I opted for a chocolate cookie crust to balance out the overall flavor, and it's great. Super-hero great.
When I got home, loaded up with tons of BUTTERFINGER® products, I immediately went to check out their Pinterest page for more ideas, and there are some good ones! In fact, my Butterfinger Poke Cake was right on top!
Back to the cheesecake for a moment - don't forget my cheesecake tips:
First, use a really good quality springform pan. This will help prevent leaks and a soggy crust. Second, don't overbeat your batter. Too much air in your batter = cracked cheesecake. Drop it on the countertop a few times to pop the bubbles in the batter before you pop it in the oven.
And finally, don't open your oven door while it's baking. Let it do its thang, and you'll be rewarded with a beautiful cake when 90 minutes is up.
Easy as pie. Er, cheesecake. Whatever, you're a super-hero, so you got this.
