  • 1 cup peanut butter

  • 1/4 cup honey

  • 1.5 cups cornflake cereal

  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

Pro Tips

  • Texture Hack: Slightly crush the cornflakes before mixing for a smoother but crunchy consistency.

    • Chocolate Ease: Use a fork to dip bars for a neater, evenly coated finish.

    • Sweetness Control: Add a little extra honey if you prefer a sweeter Butterfinger experience..

How to Make it - Can't get easier!

  • Prepare the Base:
    Heat the peanut butter and honey together in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop until smooth and melted.

    • Incorporate Crunch:
      Gently fold in the cornflake cereal and vanilla protein powder, mixing until well combined. The mixture should be sticky but moldable.

    • Shape the Bars:
      Press the mixture into a parchment-lined baking dish to form a flat, even layer. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set.

    • Slice into Bars:
      Remove from the fridge and cut into 8 bar-sized pieces to resemble traditional Butterfingers.

    • Coat in Chocolate:
      Melt chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler, and dip each bar fully to coat. Place on parchment paper to harden.

    • Set and Enjoy:
      Let the chocolate-coated bars sit in the fridge for about 10 minutes to set before serving. Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer.
