Description
A healthier twist on the classic candy bar, this homemade Butterfingers recipe is made with peanut butter, maple syrup, corn flakes, and real chocolate for a crunchy and satisfying treat.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups organic corn flakes
3/4 cup drippy peanut butter
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon molasses (optional)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
1. Place cornflakes in a resealable bag and crush into small pieces.
2. In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, combine peanut butter, maple syrup, and molasses (if using). Stir gently until smooth and well combined. Do not overheat.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the crushed corn flakes until evenly coated.
4. Spoon the mixture into a silicone ice cube tray, filling each cavity about halfway. Freeze for at least 2 hours until firm.
5. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
6. Pop hardened bites from the tray and dip each into melted chocolate, coating completely. Place on a parchment-lined tray.
7. Freeze again until the chocolate hardens and enjoy!
Notes
If you don’t have a silicone ice cube tray, spread the mixture evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, cut into squares, then dip into melted chocolate as directed.
These bites store best in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Enjoy them straight from the freezer for the perfect crunch.
