- Line a 9×9-inch baking dish (or a similar-sized dish) with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Pour the peanut butter and cereal mixture into the dish and press it down firmly to spread it evenly. Use the back of a spoon or your hands to compact the mixture.
4. Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and vegetable oil (if using). Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
5. Coat the Bars:
- Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter cereal mixture in the dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula or spoon to cover the entire surface.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has hardened and the bars have set.
6. Slice and Serve:
- Once set, remove the bars from the baking dish and slice them into squares or rectangles, just like Butterfinger bars.
Tips:
- Storage: Store the homemade Butterfingers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate them for longer freshness.
- For Extra Crunch: If you prefer a more crispy texture, you can use crushed corn flakes instead of rice cereal for a more classic Butterfinger texture.
These homemade Butterfinger bars are a perfect treat for any peanut butter and chocolate lover, and they’re easy to make at home! Enjoy!
