Nestle recently gave its Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups a seasonal makeover by molding each candy into a spooky Halloween shape. With children eating significantly more candy this time of year, Nestle's special packaging helps Butterfinger stand out from other chocolate brands.
Instead of its traditional, round shape, Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups will now be available in the shape of skulls. The skull shape will be made up of a milk chocolate coating, while the inside will be filled with a crispy, peanut butter filling. The candies will be available as singles or in two-packs that are ideal for sharing. Nestle will also begin offering new Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cup Minis for those looking for a way to indulge in something sweet without consuming too much chocolate.
