Time 2h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 4

½ cup peanut butter, or as needed
48 thin wheat crackers (such as Wheat Thins®)
½ cup chocolate chips
2 tablespoons butter, or as needed

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread 2 to 3 teaspoons peanut butter onto each of 24 crackers; top each with another cracker to create a "sandwich."
  • Arrange "sandwiches" on the prepared baking sheet. Chill in freezer until peanut butter is firm, about 1 hour.
  • Heat chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 20-second intervals in a microwave oven, stirring frequently, until melted and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Dip each "sandwich" in the melted chocolate mixture to coat and arrange onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Chill coated sandwiches in freezer until chocolate is set, about 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use quality chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your Mock Butterfinger. Use a good quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best results.
  • Be patient: Making Mock Butterfinger takes time. You need to allow the chocolate to cool and set properly between steps. Don't rush the process or you will end up with a messy, crumbly candy bar.
  • Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is essential for making Mock Butterfinger. It will help you to ensure that the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature, which is crucial for the texture of the candy bar.
  • Don't overcook the sugar syrup: If you overcook the sugar syrup, it will become too thick and hard. The Mock Butterfinger will be too hard to chew and will not have the right texture.
  • Work quickly: Once you add the sugar syrup to the chocolate mixture, you need to work quickly to spread it out and press the peanuts into the mixture. The mixture will start to set quickly, so you don't want to take too long.

Conclusion:

Mock Butterfinger is a delicious and easy-to-make candy bar that is perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a candy bar that tastes just like the real thing. So next time you're craving a Butterfinger, give this Mock Butterfinger recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
