No Bake Healthy Salted Butterfinger Bars
Let’s talk bars!
I don’t do a ton of bars, but find that for a few instances they are really great! They are perfect for creating portions to your liking, entertaining, or wanting to keep something for a week. For whatever reason, I find that the bars keep moisture more no matter what their make up, and lose quality not as fast as compared to cookies etc. When in doubt, if you’re wanting a dessert to taste good for a long duration, bars are it!
One concept that’s hard to do vegan and homemade, is a butterfinger bar! The ingredients are not vegan, there isn’t a way to really replicate that crunch, and it’s probably a huge mess to make the candy bar shape. However, you can easily mirror the butterfinger crisp by using corn flakes and even use just a handful of staple ingredient to make a fab replica!
Just like that, the new Healthy Butterfinger Bars were born!
When I’m saying you gotta try these, you gotta try these! These were so easy to throw together, pack tons of pb flavor, you could use maple syrup if trying to make them vegan, they feature stevia sweetened chocolate, the traditional recipe features corn syrup and refined white sugar, these are no bake, have notes of salt, you could throw in some hemp or chia seeds for a nutrient boost, both salty and sweet, you can use whatever pb you like or even mix it up, they are perfect for any season, could easily be made in bulk, are the perf sweet bite and are guaranteed to make you swoon!
