Random nostalgia moment – Butterfinger BB's used to be THE thing back in the day. That crunchy peanut butter goodness in a little ball was so much fun to eat. Pretty sure they stopped making them which is a travesty. Anyone else missing these?!

You know, there's an ebb and flow to the candy industry where some gems just get retired. If you're really craving that Butterfinger BB's taste, I’d recommend chopping up a Butterfinger bar into small pieces and chilling them. Not the same, but it’s the closest you can get now. Or better yet, there are some copycat recipes floating around that you might want to try your hand at.

Butterfinger BB’s hold a special place in candy lore, partially because they represent a trend from the '90s where everything had to be 'extreme' or bite-sized. They launched in '92 and rode the wave of the micro candy craze. I think one of the big reasons they vanished around 2006 (besides declining sales, probably) was just shifting market tastes. People wanted novel experiences, new flavors - not just smaller versions of existing bars. Saw the same thing happen to other candy variants of the era.

Literally cannot talk about BB's without getting mad. It’s like, why take away a perfect thing? You really can't find that texture and flavor combo in any other candy out there. They pulled the same stunt with Swoops (remember those??) and it’s like, stop fixing what ain't broken! 😤

Butterfinger BB's were my childhood! I remember when they'd show up in my Halloween loot and I felt like I won the jackpot. Those crunchy little bites were way better than the full-sized bars cause they didn't get all stuck in your teeth the same way. It’s a crime they got rid of them!
