These Butterfinger bites combine a perfect mix of crispy texture and rich, buttery flavor, delivering a homemade candy bar experience that’s easy, fun, and seriously addictive.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for coating
  • Optional: sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper and measuring all ingredients. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth; set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and water. Stir gently over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Attach a candy thermometer and bring mixture to a boil without stirring.
  3. Boil syrup until it reaches 290°F (hard crack stage). If no thermometer, drop a bit of syrup into cold water; it should harden and snap immediately.
  4. Remove from heat and quickly stir in softened butter and peanut butter until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Stir in baking soda and vanilla extract; mixture will foam slightly.
  6. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet and spread evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness. Let cool until just firm but pliable, about 10 minutes.
  7. Cut the candy into bite-sized squares or rectangles.
  8. Dip each bite into melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment paper and optionally sprinkle with sea salt.
  9. Allow chocolate to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Work quickly once the candy base is cooked as it hardens fast. If mixture thickens before spreading, gently warm it on low heat to soften. Keep melted chocolate warm and smooth for easy dipping; reheat if it thickens. Let bites set naturally for best texture and shine; refrigerate only to speed up setting but avoid condensation.
