Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups cornflakes cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the base: In a large bowl, mix the peanut butter thoroughly until smooth and spreadable.
- Add cereal: Gently fold the cornflakes into the peanut butter until all flakes are evenly coated, creating a crunchy mixture.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and glossy.
- Combine layers: Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter and cornflakes mixture and gently stir to combine the layers without breaking up the cornflakes.
- Chill: Transfer the mixture into a lined baking dish, pressing it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Serve: Once chilled and set, cut into bars and enjoy your healthy homemade Butterfingers.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for better binding and texture.
- For extra crunch, toast the cornflakes lightly before mixing.
- Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute the peanut butter with almond butter for a different flavor profile.
