I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Mock Butterfinger Bars

One of my favorite candy bars is a Butterfinger.   They are so good.   I love this version of that candy bar.  You are going to see the ingredients and think "No Way", but it really tastes quite a bit like them.   You may only be able to get the one ingredient in the fall.  If you wait until after Halloween, you can often get the bag for 75% off.
