CHEWY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BUTTERFINGER BARS



Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Butterfinger Bars image

A soft, very chewy, rich, dense, chocolate-peanut butter base is topped with a chocolate-peanut butter coating. Then, crushed Butterfinger candy is sprinkled on, before a final drizzle of more chocolate is added. Despite tasting extra buttery and decadent, there's no butter used. According to Nestle, Butterfingers are gluten-free. If you swap out Butterfingers for Peanut Butter cups, the bars are vegan and gluten-free (since Butterfingers are the only thing that's not vegan in the recipe). If you need a fast and easy dessert that's sure to be a huge hit, I highly recommend these. They keep extremely well and can be made in advance, and are one my favorite cereal bars of all time. They're a great way to clear out and repurpose leftover Halloween candy - or Easter, birthday, holiday candy.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 heaping cup creamy peanut butter (use Jif, Skippy, or similar; do not use natural or homemade peanut butter)
1/2 cup light corn syrup (light-colored, not lite)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons unsweetened natural cocoa powder (Dutch-process may be substituted)
3 cups Rice Krispies
about 1 cup crushed or diced Butterfinger
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (use Jif, Skippy, or similar; do not use natural or homemade peanut butter)
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Base - Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil leaving overhang, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, corn syrup, sugars, and heat on high power for 1 minute to melt.
  • Stop to stir. Mixture will be on the granular side, this is okay.
  • Return bowl to microwave and heat for 1 more minute on high power.
  • Stir in the vanilla.
  • Stir in the cocoa powder
  • Stir in the cereal.
  • Turn mixture out into prepared pan, packing it down firmly with a spatula and smoothing the top; set pan aside.
  • Topping - Crush or dice the Butterfingers. I squeeze them in my palm before unwrapping them. They crush very easily so don't squeeze too hard or you'll have orange dust; set candy aside.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup chocolate chips, peanut butter, and heat on high power for 1 minute to melt.
  • Stop to stir. Chips may not be completely melted. Return bowl to microwave and heat in 15-second bursts until mixture can be stirred smooth; 15 seconds is likely all they'll need.
  • Pour chocolate mixture over base, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
  • Working somewhat quickly so that chocolate doesn't begin to set up, evenly sprinkle Butterfingers over the chocolate. I prefer a fairly densely covered surface; add candy according to preference. Set pan aside.
  • In a medium microwave-safe bowl (same one just used to melt the chocolate and peanut butter is fine; don't need to wash it), place 1/4 cup chocolate chips and heat on high power for 1 minute to melt. Stop to stir. Chips may not be completely melted. Return bowl to microwave and heat in 15-second bursts until chocolate can be stirred smooth, 15 seconds is likely all they'll need.
  • Using a spoon, evenly drizzle chocolate over the top of bars.
  • Cover pan with a sheet of foil (to prevent fridge smells), and place pan in fridge to set up for at least 3 hours, or overnight, or until layers are completely set before lifting bars out with foil overhang, slicing, and serving. Before slicing, allowing bars to come to room temp for 15 minutes will make slicing much easier. Bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

3 cups candy corn
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, finely ground in a food processor
2 cups milk chocolate chips, or chocolate melting wafers

Stir in the peanut butter and the ground roasted peanuts. Spread into an even layer in the prepared baking dish and let cool completely until set, about 30 minutes. Use the parchment paper to help you lift the candy out of the baking dish. Cut into 1-by-2-inch pieces using a pastry wheel or pizza cutter.

Dip each piece of candy into the chocolate, using a fork to turn and coat. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pieces of candy. Drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the top of the chocolate-coated candy. Let the chocolate cool and set up completely.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Use a Food Processor: A food processor is the best way to quickly and easily make the graham cracker crust and the peanut butter filling. If you don't have a food processor, you can use a rolling pin to crush the graham crackers and a fork to mix the peanut butter filling.
  • Use a 9x13 inch Baking Dish: This is the standard size for a peanut butter bar recipe. If you use a smaller dish, the bars will be thicker and may not cook evenly.
  • Chill the Bars Before Serving: This will help them to set up and make them easier to cut.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter bars are a classic dessert that is always a hit. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect peanut butter bars that will be enjoyed by everyone.
