Key Ingredients & Substitutions
The Essentials:
- Butterfinger bars (1½ cups crushed) – The star ingredient! Substitute with Heath bars or peanut butter cups for a twist.
- Cornflakes (6 cups) – Adds crunch. Rice Krispies or Chex cereal work too.
- Peanut butter (1 cup) – Use creamy or crunchy. For nut-free, try sunflower seed butter.
- Corn syrup (1 cup) – Binds the bars. Honey or maple syrup can sub (but texture may vary).
- Chocolate chips (1½ cups) – Semi-sweet or milk chocolate. Dark chocolate works for less sweetness.
