Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup corn flakes cereal
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and sugar. Mix well until fully incorporated.
  2. Add corn flakes cereal to the peanut butter mixture. Stir gently until the cereal is coated with the peanut butter mixture.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter-cereal mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using your hands, shape the mixture into small bars or discs. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up.
  4. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and creamy.
  5. Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator. Dip each peanut butter bar into the melted chocolate, coating all sides. Use a fork to lift and let excess chocolate drip off. Place the coated bars back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  6. Once all the bars are coated, return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for another 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
  7. Remove the bars from the refrigerator. Serve and enjoy the homemade copycat Butterfinger bars!
