Ingredients

For the filling

Instructions

  • Using a small pot, combine the almond butter, honey and vanilla extract. Set over low heat to melt the mixture into more of a smooth, thinner nut butter mixture. Remove from the heat.
  • Add the flake cereal to the pot and gently fold, coating the cereal but not crushing it.
  • Using a small square mold (I use this), add about 2 tbsp worth of the filling to each mold space. Transfer to the freezer and freeze until totally solid.
  • Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a heat-safe glass bowl. Using a method of your choice (I prefer a double boiler method), melt the chocolate and coconut oil together until they are fully liquid. Allow to sit and cool for a few minutes.
  • Prepare a plate lined with parchment paper. Carefully remove the butterfinger filling cubes from the mold. Working with one at a time, place on a fork and hover over the chocolate bowl. Use a spoon coat with chocolate on all sides. Place on the plate and top with flakey salt.
  • Set in the fridge to allow the chocolate to fully set and the filling to soften a bit before enjoying!
