Weight Watchers Butterfinger Dessert

This recipe was posted by a friend on Facebook, so thought I would give it a try since I have been trying to lose a few pounds. It is totally Weight Watchers friendly except for the Butterfinger candy bars.

Now when it comes to candy bars, Butterfingers would not be my first choice. Anything, and I mean anything dark chocolate literally speaks to me in a language of love!
I’ve made this twice now WITH the Butterfingers, once for a woman’s group and the second time for a dinner party where I was assigned the desert. It got rave reviews all the way around. But I kept thinking it could be better so…

See my comments at the end of the recipe.

…here’s how to make it better and even more diet friendly, skip the Butterfingers and use fresh chunked up pineapple. It was tasty and very refreshing compared to the Butterfingers.  Raspberries would be wonderful as well!
