Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups cornflakes, crushed (about 60 grams)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (about 170 grams)
Instructions
- Mix peanut butter and cornflakes: In a large bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter with the crushed cornflakes gently, ensuring the flakes retain some crunch and are evenly coated.
- Shape and chill: Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into finger-sized bars or small rectangles. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing them to firm up.
- Dip in melted chocolate: Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Dip each chilled peanut butter bar into the melted chocolate, coating thoroughly. Place them back on the parchment paper and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 15-20 minutes.
Notes
- Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture if desired.
- To prevent the chocolate from seizing, ensure no water gets into the chocolate while melting.
- Store the finished Butterfingers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a dairy-free version, use vegan chocolate chips.
- You can substitute cornflakes with gluten-free flakes if needed for dietary restrictions.
