Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
- 1 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
Sweeteners:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup
Instructions
- Grab a large saucepan and melt 1 cup butter over medium heat until completely liquefied and bubbling gently.
- Pour 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1 cup corn syrup into the melted butter. Stir constantly until the mixture reaches a rolling boil, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and quickly blend 1 cup creamy peanut butter into the hot syrup, stirring until your mixture becomes silky smooth.
- Add 4 cups crispy rice cereal and 1 cup chopped Butterfinger candy bars to the pan. Fold ingredients together until every morsel is evenly coated.
- Transfer the sticky mixture into a greased 9×13 inch pan. Use a spatula to press the ingredients firmly and create an even, compact layer.
- Place 1 cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power for 60-90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted and glossy.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate across the entire surface of your cereal mixture, making sure to cover every corner with a smooth, even layer.
- Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours until the chocolate sets completely. Cut into square pieces using a sharp knife.
Notes
- Check the temperature carefully when melting butter to prevent burning.
- Crush Butterfinger bars into small pieces for even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Use a greased spatula or parchment paper to press the mixture evenly into the pan for uniform bars.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their crisp texture.
