Add granulated sugar, eggs, bananas, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
Stir in the flour and chopped Butterfingers.
Spoon mixture evenly into four well-greased and floured miniature bread loaf pans.
Make sure pans are not more than three-fourths full.
Smooth tops with a knife.
Bake at 350° for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
To check for doneness, insert a knife or bamboo skewer into the bottom of the pan.
When knife comes out clean, bread is completely baked.
Allow bread to cool in pans on wire racks about 30-45 minutes.
Invert bread loaves onto wire cooling racks and cool completely.
Add Butterfinger icing and sprinkle each loaf with additional chopped Butterfingers.
When icing dries, cut bread down into slices: 6 slices per miniature loaf.
Yield: 24 slices.
CHOCOLATE ICING:
In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk half-and-half, powdered sugar, cocoa and vanilla extract until smooth.
Icing will be very thick.
Place miniature bread loaves onto wire cooling racks.
Spoon or pour icing over top of bread loaves.
Immediately sprinkle each loaf with chopped Butterfingers before icing the next loaf.
Let glaze set for 5-10 minutes before slicing bread down into serving pieces and serving.
Notes
NOTE: Start checking for doneness after bread bakes 45 minutes. Your oven may cook faster, but mine took an hour. (It depends on how full the bread loaf pans are).NOTE: 8 fun-size Butterfinger Candy Bars = approximately one cup chopped Butterfingers.NOTE: Fill four sized miniature bread loaf pans about three-fourths full. This recipe expands A LOT while baking. Three pans filled almost to the top will almost certainly overflow.
