Description

These homemade Healthier Butterfingers are a delightful treat that you can feel good about indulging in. Made with organic cornflakes, peanut butter, and maple syrup, these bites are coated in rich chocolate for a perfect balance of flavors.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Butterfingers:

  • 1 1/2 cups organic corn flakes
  • 3/4 cup drippy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon molasses (optional)

For the Chocolate Coating:

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Crush cornflakes: Place cornflakes in a small lunch-size plastic bag and crush into small pieces.
  2. Heat peanut butter: Add peanut butter, maple syrup, and molasses (if using) to a small saucepan over low-medium heat. Heat, while stirring until the mixture is combined. Don’t overheat or you’ll risk scorching the peanut butter.
  3. Combine with cornflakes: Once well combined, remove from heat and stir in crushed cornflakes.
  4. Fill ice cube tray: Spoon coated cornflakes into a silicone ice cube tray, filling each cavity about halfway.
  5. Freeze: Place ice cube tray in the freezer for bites to harden for at least 2 hours.
  6. Melt chocolate: Once bites have hardened, place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring between each.
  7. Coat in chocolate: Dip/coat each bite into the melted chocolate, one at a time. Use a spoon to coat until completely covered. Place on a platter lined with parchment.
  8. Set: Freeze the coated bites to let the chocolate harden.
  9. Storage: Keep the Butterfingers stored in the freezer in an airtight container for 1-2 months. Enjoy straight from the freezer.
