Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13" pan with foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray (leave some foil overhang to lift the bars out later).
In a large bowl using a hand mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened unsalted butter and the peanut butter together until smooth.
Add the packed brown sugar and beat until the mixture is creamy and combined.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, milk, salt, and baking soda; mix until everything is incorporated.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and mix on low speed (or stir) until just combined and no large streaks of flour remain.
Fold in the peanut butter chips, chocolate chips, and chopped Butterfinger pieces until evenly distributed through the dough.
Transfer the dough to the prepared 9×13" pan and press it into an even layer using a spatula or your hands. If you like, sprinkle additional peanut butter chips and Butterfinger pieces over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set (a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter).
Remove the pan from the oven and cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Use the foil overhang to lift the bars from the pan, then slice into bars.
Store cooled bars in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to one month.
