GLENDALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BUTTERFINGER, the beloved crispety, crunchety, peanut buttery candy bar, is confirmed to make its first Big Game Day debut in 2014, marking the first time for Nestlé USA to advertise one of its brands at the most watched nationally televised sporting event in the country. “We hope the Big Game attracts the largest audience ever to lay a finger on Butterfinger, and we’re excited to showcase our brand’s irreverent sense of humor on this national stage for the very first time,” said Butterfinger brand manager Jeremy Vandervoet. The Big Game Day commercial will support the introduction of Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups, the biggest product launch in Butterfinger’s 90ish-year-old history.
Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups will take the classic peanut-butter and chocolate combination to a whole new level showing how “the cup just got crunchy.” Each cup features a smooth, super peanut-buttery Butterfinger filling with just the right amount of crunchy pieces mixed in, all surrounded by delicious pure milk chocolate. Peanut butter cups will never be the same again! The new Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups will be available in retail stores nationwide in January 2014.
Butterfinger is a one-of-a-kind candy bar with the crispety-crunchety, peanut-buttery taste people love. No other candy bar comes close to the intense flavor and texture of a Butterfinger. In 2013, Butterfinger marked its “90ish” anniversary as the candy bar originally invented by Chicago’s Curtiss Candy Company was believed to have been promoted as early as 1923 (before it ultimately was sold to Nestlé in 1990). However, Butterfinger parent company Nestlé holds a trademark document from 1928, thus the 90ish reference, keeping in line with the brand’s irreverent sense of humor.
