Butterfinger Treats
Creamy peanut butter and crispy Wheat Thins are coated in smooth white and milk chocolate, creating a sweet, crunchy treat perfect for sharing at parties or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Spread peanut butter between two Wheat Thins crackers to make a sandwich.
- Melt the white and milk chocolate cubes until smooth.
- Dip the peanut butter-filled crackers into the melted chocolate, coating one or both sides as desired.
- Place the dipped crackers on parchment paper and let the chocolate set before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, use natural peanut butter instead of processed. You can also substitute the Wheat Thins with another crispy cracker if desired. If you're short on time, consider using pre-made chocolate melts instead of the Eagle Brand chocolate. Remember to let the chocolate cool slightly before dipping to ensure a smooth coating.
Serving Suggestions
These treats are perfect for parties or as a sweet snack. Pair them with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee for a delightful contrast. You can also serve them alongside other desserts like Peanut Butter Tandy Take Cake for a fun dessert spread. For a more festive touch, drizzle extra melted chocolate on top before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Butterfinger Treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you live in a warmer climate, refrigerating them may help prevent the chocolate from melting. Reheat by letting them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften the chocolate slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate?

To enhance the crunchiness, you can add crushed nuts or crispy rice cereal to the peanut butter before assembling the sandwiches. This will give your treats an extra layer of texture while maintaining the delicious flavor.
Are these treats suitable for a vegetarian diet?
