Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Mixture:
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 + 3/4 cup cornflake cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free, if needed)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Heat Peanut Butter Mixture: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine peanut butter, honey, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Heat for 2-4 minutes until smooth.
- Mix Ingredients: Transfer the peanut butter mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the cornflake cereal. Stir well to combine, ensuring the cereal is coated.
- Shape Logs: Shape the mixture into 12-14 logs. Place them on a parchment-lined plate or baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave or on the stove until smooth.
- Dip Bars: Dip each peanut butter log into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place them back on the lined plate and freeze until the chocolate sets, approximately 10 minutes.
- Storage: Store your homemade Butterfingers in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
- You can customize this recipe by adding chopped nuts or seeds to the mixture for extra crunch.
- For a sweeter version, you can use milk chocolate chips instead of dark chocolate.
