Print Recipe

Butterfinger Delight is a crunchy, creamy, and sweet homemade treat inspired by the classic candy bar.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups crisped rice cereal

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Start by combining softened butter and peanut butter in a bowl, stirring until smooth and well mixed. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing until the mixture thickens and becomes pliable enough to hold its shape.
  2. Add Crunch: Fold in the crisped rice cereal gently, ensuring an even distribution while preserving the crunch. Avoid overmixing to keep those delightful crispy bits intact.
  3. Shape the Bars: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then press the mixture into a rectangular layer about 1/2 inch thick. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up before cutting into smaller bars or bite-sized pieces.
  4. Melt the Chocolate Coating: Using a double boiler or microwave, gently melt the chocolate chips with a teaspoon of vegetable oil until smooth and glossy. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
  5. Dip and Chill: Dip each shaped piece into the melted chocolate, coating thoroughly, then place back on parchment paper. Once all pieces are coated, refrigerate again until the chocolate sets completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for easier blending and a smoother filling.
  • Don’t overmix the cereal to preserve its crunchiness.
  • Warm your knife with hot water before slicing bars to make clean cuts without crumbling.
  • Use good-quality chocolate chips for a shiny and flavorful coating.
  • Chill sufficiently between steps to make shaping and dipping less messy.
