Description
A healthier, homemade twist on classic Butterfingers—these gluten-free and dairy-free bars use peanut butter, honey, and cornflakes for that iconic crunch, all coated in rich chocolate.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 3/4 cups cornflake cereal
- 1 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free if needed)
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- In a saucepan over medium-low heat, heat peanut butter, honey, vanilla, and salt for 2–4 minutes until smooth and combined.
- Transfer mixture to a large bowl with the cornflake cereal and stir to coat, lightly crushing the cereal.
- Shape the mixture into 12–14 logs and place on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze for 1 hour.
- Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil using a microwave or stovetop, being careful not to burn it.
- Dip each frozen log in the melted chocolate, allow excess to drip off, then place back on the tray. Freeze for about 10 minutes to set.
- Store in the fridge or freezer and enjoy when desired.
Notes
- Use almond or sunflower butter for a nut-free option.
- Maple syrup can replace honey for a vegan version.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt or drizzle extra chocolate for added flair.
- Use dark chocolate for a lower-sugar alternative.
