do these freeze well?
These Butterfingers Bars actually freeze great. I was skeptical because of the ice cream, but I froze them for about a week, then let it thaw a little before I ate it, and it was almost better.
The center was a little more dense and moist, and the frosting thawed nicely.
We recommend freezing them in an air tight container, and not stacking them one on top of the other, just for the best results.
We also recommend not freezing them for more than a month.
To thaw, we recommend placing them in the fridge 48 hours before serving them, or out on the counter for 12-20 hours, for the best results.
what could i use, instead of shortening, in the frosting?
We love the creamy and light texture the shortening gives the frosting, however, it has a unique taste. It is still delicious, but you could easily swap out the shortening for something else.
For this particular recipe, we recommend using butter as a substitute. You will just want it at room temperature, not softened, when making this recipe.

I didn't have enough Butterfingers, but didn't realize it until I already started making them - I had about 3/4 cup (btw: 1 full size bar = 1/2 c. chopped), and I made the rest up with Heath Toffee Bits - worked perfectly!
Everyone *loved* them - thanks for sharing! =)
