Description

These No Bake Butterfinger Bars combine crunchy cornflakes with a sweet and creamy peanut butter base, topped with a smooth chocolate layer for a quick and delicious treat without needing to bake.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 8 cups cornflakes cereal

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides to help lift the bars easily once set.
  2. Cook Syrup Mixture: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup light corn syrup and 1 cup granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble gently.
  3. Add Peanut Butter: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in 1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine with Cereal: Place 8 cups cornflakes in a large bowl. Pour the peanut butter mixture over the cereal and gently fold to coat the flakes evenly, taking care not to crush them.
  5. Press Mixture: Transfer the coated cereal mixture to the prepared pan. Use a spatula or lightly greased hands to press it down firmly and evenly.
  6. Melt Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter. Heat in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Spread Chocolate: Evenly spread the melted chocolate peanut butter topping over the cereal base in the pan.
  8. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate topping has fully set.
  9. Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan. Slice into squares and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper with some overhang for easy removal and clean slicing without sticking.
  • Press the cereal mixture firmly but gently to maintain crunchiness without crushing the flakes too much.
  • Microwave the chocolate mixture in short intervals to prevent burning and ensure smooth melting.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and firm.
  • You can substitute peanut butter with almond or cashew butter if preferred.
