Back in Time Today
Butterfinger has always been known for its unmistakable crispy, crunchy, peanut-buttery center, but over the years, the brand hasn’t been afraid to shake things up. From bite-sized spin-offs to bold flavor experiments, here are 8 Butterfinger varieties that have disappeared from shelves—and one exciting new release you can try in 2025.
1. Butterfinger BB’s (Discontinued)
Remember those carefree days when Butterfinger BB’s were the ultimate treat? These tiny, poppable balls of crispy, peanut-buttery goodness were the delight of the ‘90s. Their bite-sized nature made them perfect for sneaking into movie theaters or sharing with friends during lunch breaks. Despite their popularity, they mysteriously vanished from shelves in the early 2000s, leaving a void in the hearts of fans everywhere. The BB’s were more than just a snack; they were a symbol of childhood and fun. Their discontinuation left fans yearning for that unique, nostalgic crunch.
2. Butterfinger Snackerz (Discontinued)
Butterfinger Snackerz were the go-to treat for those who loved a quick snack without the mess. These bite-sized squares delivered the signature Butterfinger crunch, making them ideal for on-the-go snacking. Their design ensured that each bite was mess-free, perfect for busy individuals who didn’t want sticky fingers. Although they were convenient and delicious, they didn’t last long in the competitive snack market. Fans appreciated their ease and taste, but unfortunately, Butterfinger Snackerz quietly disappeared, leaving snackers looking for a convenient chocolate fix. Their practical design was truly ahead of its time.
3. Butterfinger Buzz (Discontinued)
For those who needed a candy bar that packed a punch, Butterfinger Buzz was the answer. Infused with caffeine, this unique treat offered both the delicious taste of Butterfinger and an energy kick to power through the day. It was particularly popular among students and busy professionals looking for an extra boost. However, its niche appeal meant it didn’t resonate with everyone, leading to its short-lived presence on shelves. While it may not have been everyone’s cup of tea, it certainly left a memorable impression on those who tried it. Buzzing with potential, it’s fondly remembered.
4. Butterfinger Crisp (Discontinued)
Butterfinger Crisp was a delightful twist on the original. With wafer layers interspersed with the classic Butterfinger filling, it offered a lighter, airier version of the beloved bar. Fans enjoyed the unique texture, which provided a satisfying crunch with every bite. Despite its popularity, it didn’t last long in the ever-changing confectionery landscape. Its brief existence did, however, make a lasting impression on those who appreciated a more delicate take on the traditional Butterfinger. The Crisp was a testament to Butterfinger’s innovative spirit and willingness to experiment with textures.
5. Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups (Discontinued or Limited Availability)
Combining the timeless appeal of peanut butter cups with the iconic Butterfinger crunch, these cups were a treat for the taste buds. The harmonious blend of smooth chocolate and crispy peanut butter filling brought a new twist to a classic candy format. While they made a splash initially, their availability dwindled over time, making them a rare find today. Fans still crave that unique texture and flavor combination, reminiscing about its momentary presence. The Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups showcased the brand’s ability to innovate within beloved formats, leaving a sweet legacy.
6. Butterfinger Bites (Discontinued)
Butterfinger Bites were the perfect solution for those who loved the classic bar but wanted something easier to share. These small, square versions captured the essence of Butterfinger in a convenient bite-sized format. Ideal for movie nights or parties, they made sharing fun and effortless. Despite their potential, they didn’t sell as well as anticipated, leading to their quiet exit from shelves. Fans who appreciated the ease of snacking on these mini delights still remember them fondly. Butterfinger Bites offered a taste of tradition in a modern, shareable package.
7. Butterfinger Ice Cream Nuggets (Discontinued)
Imagine a hot summer day and the refreshing taste of Butterfinger Ice Cream Nuggets cooling you down. These frozen treats combined creamy vanilla ice cream with crunchy Butterfinger pieces, creating a symphony of textures and flavors. Perfect for satisfying sweet cravings, they were a hit in the freezer aisle. However, as trends in frozen desserts shifted, these nuggets quietly melted away from the market. Their unique blend of creamy and crunchy left a lasting impression on ice cream lovers. The nuggets were a delightful way to enjoy Butterfinger’s flavor in a chilled form.
8. Butterfinger BB Ice Cream Bar (Discontinued)
The Butterfinger BB Ice Cream Bar was a nostalgic treat that brought together childhood memories and frozen delight. Featuring a creamy ice cream center studded with Butterfinger bits, it was an irresistible combination. Fans of the original BB’s found comfort in this frozen version as it evoked memories of the beloved candy. Though it was a creative attempt to bring BB’s back in a new form, it eventually melted into history. Those who had the chance to enjoy it remember the joy it brought on hot summer days. Truly, it was a sweet blast from the past.
9. NEW: Salted Caramel Butterfinger (2025 Limited Edition)
