Healthy Homemade Butterfingers
These healthy homemade Butterfingers are a no-bake, better-for-you version of the classic candy bar. Made with simple ingredients, they’re crunchy, peanut-buttery, dairy-free, gluten-free, and naturally sweetened.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Spatula
- zip-top bag
- 9×4-inch loaf pan
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (no added sugar)
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 cups gluten-free corn flakes, crushed
- 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
- Add the corn flakes to a zip-top bag and crush into small, flaky pieces.
- In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter and maple syrup (or honey) until smooth.
- Stir in the crushed corn flakes until evenly coated.
- Line a 9×4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper and press the mixture firmly into an even layer.
- Freeze for at least 1 hour, until solid.
- Remove from the freezer, lift out, and slice into 12 bars.
- Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together until smooth.
- Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
- Place bars on parchment paper and freeze for 10 minutes, or until chocolate is set.
- Enjoy immediately or store for later.
Notes
Press the mixture firmly into the pan to prevent crumbling. Freeze before slicing for clean edges. Let melted chocolate cool slightly before dipping to avoid softening the bars.
