Directions:Make a butter-in-it yellow cake mix according to the package directions - except add a running-over teaspoon of vanilla to it.
While that's baking, mix up the filling - which is 3 (three!) 8-oz. packs of Philadelphia Cream Cheese (you could use the low- or nonfat varieties or a combination thereof if you were "thinking thin" - ha!), 3 (three!) cans of Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk (again, you could use nonfat), and 1 (one) very large container of Cool Whip (and this comes in nonfat, too). Okay, stir all that up together and put it somewhere out of reach so you don't eat it all while you're doing this other stuff.
Get about a ton of Butterfingers - really, 3 14-oz. bags of baby Butterfingers (that's right at three pounds of Butterfingers - is this obscene or what?). You either chop up the Butterfingers or give 'em a whirl in the Cuisinart, and after you've done that - again, put them somewhere out of reach for a few minutes.
When the cake is done and has cooled off, cut it up into little pieces and line a bowl with a layer of 'em, then slather those cake pieces with a thick layer of the filling and put half the Butterfinger bits on top of that.
Repeat and then take the phone off the hook and lock the doors and get a big spoon and have at it.
Now, when I made this, by those instructions, I had a whole bunch of the filling stuff left over - even after I ate a bunch of it, and even though I gobbed it on the cake layers really thick. So you can either freeze the extra (enough for about a half recipe next time) or you can cut the filling ingredients by a third or you can just stand there and eat all the leftovers. I'd opt for the latter because it's just free eating - it doesn't count as calories because it's left over and you're eating it straight out of the bowl it was mixed in; you'd be crazy to pass up this opportunity.
