A typical Butterfinger bar.

Butterfinger is a popular peanut-butter and choclate candy bar. There have been 150 commercials for Butterfinger that have faetured The Simpsons since 1988 up through today.

Many of the commercials featured Homer trying to get Bart's Butterfinger, but would be one-upped by Bart eached time. Each commercial ended with Bart saying the candy's tagline - "No one better lay a finger on my Butterfinger" (in the late 1990's, this was chnged to "Bite My Butterfinger!).

Most of these advertisements have been released on The Simpsons DVD sets as bonus features along with other commercials.
