Healthy Butterfingers with Fiber

These homemade Healthy Butterfingers are everything you love about the original—but better for your body. They’re rich, crunchy, chocolatey, and satisfying, with a high-fiber twist that keeps you full and energized. Next time your candy cravings hit, skip the store-bought bars and whip up a batch of these freezer-friendly treats—you won’t regret it!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup pure maple syrup, honey, or agave, 80g

3 tbsp sugar, unrefined if desired, or additional maple syrup (I used maple syrup 60g)

1 tbsp regular or blackstrap molasses, 20g (optional, but highly recommend)

1 cup peanut butter, 250g (or any other nut butter you prefer)

1 1/2 cups bran flakes or corn flakes, or another flakey cereal, 95g (I used High Fiber Heritage Flakes)

1 tsp vanilla

Dash of cinnamon

1/8 tsp salt, plus a little extra if using unsalted peanut butter

Chocolate Coating:

1 ½ cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips, 270g

1/2 tbsp coconut oil, 7g

Optional: Flakey Sea Salt

Directions

1. Fully line an 8x8 baking pan

2. Melt your chocolate and coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave in increments

3. Pour half the melted chocolate in the baking pan, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate in an even layer from corer to corner. Now put it in the freezer while you make the filling

4. In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, molasses, and sugar or more maple syrup, dash of cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it reaches a gentle boil. Allow it to boil for about a minute, then remove it from the heat.

5. Before adding the cereal, using your hand crush about one third of the cereal. Add the high fiber cereal flakes or corn flakes to the peanut butter mixture. Stir gently until the flakes are evenly coated with the peanut butter mixture, taking care not to crush them too much.

6. Remove the baking pan with the chocolate from the freezer, add the nut butter and cereal mixture and then press down into an even layer, try not to disturb the bottom layer of chocolate too much.

7. Now add the remaining melted chocolate, spread it out into an even layer. Sprinkle with flakey salt and freezer for a minimum of 1 hour before slicing.

8. Slice into 16 bars and keep then in the freezer. Once you are ready to enjoy, let them defrost for 5 min or so before consuming.
