My love for chocolate and peanut butter treats runs deep. While this isn’t quite the same as a classic Butterfinger (one of my true loves), the flavors are definitely reminiscent, and it’s such a fun treat to make! Plus, it’s no-bake...which, let’s be real, is kind of my specialty when it comes to the dessert world! If you're looking for a gluten free cornflake, these are my go-to! These bites also feature our favorite wildflower honey from our dear friends’ farm, which makes them even more special.

Lightly crush the cornflakes in a bowl, aiming for small flakes, not crumbs. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine sugar and honey. Stir until sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to bubble. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Stir in the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth and glossy. If the mixture feels too thick, gradually stir in up to 2 tablespoons of water, a little at a time, until it reaches a spreadable (but not runny) consistency.
Pour the peanut butter mixture over the crushed cornflakes and stir to coat everything evenly.
Using a medium scoop, portion out the mixture into little balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray, ensuring they’re spread out so they don’t touch.
Pop the tray in the fridge for 20–30 minutes to set.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together, stirring every 20 seconds, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip each bite halfway or drizzle with chocolate, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Return to the fridge to set completely.
