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.
