Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 + 3/4 cup cornflake cereal

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (dairy free, if needed)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Heat Peanut Butter Mixture: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Heat for 2-4 minutes, stirring frequently until the mixture is warmed through and smooth.
  2. Mix with Cereal: Transfer the warm peanut butter mixture to a large mixing bowl containing the cornflake cereal. Stir thoroughly to coat the cereal evenly, gently crushing some pieces so the mixture blends well.
  3. Form Logs: Take the combined mixture and shape it into 12 to 14 small logs. Arrange these logs on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet and place them in the freezer for 1 hour to set.
  4. Melt Chocolate Coating: After the logs have frozen, melt the chocolate chips together with the coconut oil either in the microwave or on the stovetop, stirring often and being careful not to burn the chocolate.
  5. Coat the Butterfingers: Dip each frozen log into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Lay the coated butterfingers back on the parchment-lined plate and freeze for about 10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  6. Store Properly: Once the chocolate has set, store the butterfingers in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them firm and fresh until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use dairy-free chocolate chips if you need the recipe to be dairy-free or vegan-friendly.
  • Freezing the bars before dipping helps the chocolate harden more quickly and prevents melting.
  • Crushing the cereal slightly helps the peanut butter mixture coat the flakes thoroughly, adding crunch and flavor.
  • Store butterfingers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for best freshness.
