Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

Sweeteners & Flavorings

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Crunch Elements

  • 1 cup crunchy wafer pieces

Coating

  • 6 ounces chocolate coating (milk, dark, or vegan as preferred)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base Mixture: Begin by melting butter and peanut butter together in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. This blend forms the creamy backbone for your Butterfinger Delight.
  2. Add Sweetness and Flavor: Stir in brown sugar and vanilla extract, allowing the mixture to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens slightly, creating a luscious caramel flavor.
  3. Incorporate the Crunch: Gently fold in the crunchy wafer pieces, ensuring they are evenly coated without crushing them completely—this step preserves the much-loved texture.
  4. Shape and Chill: Spread the mixture evenly into a lined pan, pressing gently for a compact layer, then refrigerate for at least an hour until firm but still pliable.
  5. Coat with Chocolate: Once chilled, melt your choice of chocolate and pour it over the top, spreading it evenly. Return to the fridge to allow the coating to harden fully, completing your Butterfinger Delight.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh peanut butter and high-quality chocolate make all the difference in flavor.
  • Don’t overmix: When folding in wafers, gently combine to keep texture intact.
  • Chill properly: Allow enough chilling time for firm bars that cut cleanly without crumbling.
  • Double the batch: This recipe stores well, so doubling up is perfect for sharing or keeping on hand.
  • Experiment with chocolate types: White, milk, or dark chocolate can all create new flavor profiles.
