Butterfinger is a candy bar manufactured by US based Ferrara Candy Company, a subsidiary of Ferrero. It is manufactured internationally by Nestlé. It consists of a layered crisp peanut butter core covered in a chocolate-like coating; the coating is not eligible to be described as chocolate, as it contains no cocoa butter. Butterfinger was invented by Otto Schnering of the Curtiss Candy Company in 1923. A popularity contest chose the name.
