On the image itself, the word “NEW?” had an asterisk next to it with “maybe sometime in the future” on the bottom.

“We just had the best idea for #NationalPeanut ButterDay,” Butterfinger wrote, “Just kidding...Unless?”

Social media were quick to respond positively to the idea, hoping the new product would be real.

Ferrero has not officially confirmed the new Butterfinger peanut butter would be released to stores, as there’s no set plan or date for the product at this time, Thrillist reported.
