Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, add chopped peanuts or pretzels before tossing with the chocolate mixture.
• If you prefer a different flavor, substitute creamy peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
• Use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet for a richer taste.

Storage

Store Butterfinger Puppy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispness. For longer storage, keep it refrigerated up to a week and bring to room temperature before serving. Avoid storing in humid areas to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of creamy?

Regular peanut butter with chunkiness may affect the texture and coating of the mixture, so creamy peanut butter is recommended for a smooth and even coating.

Is there a gluten-free option for this recipe?

Yes, ensure that the Chex cereal you use is labeled gluten-free, and verify that the Butterfinger Bits do not contain gluten. This will make the recipe safe for gluten-free diets.
