How to make the best Cheez-It Butterfinger bites:

Lay out half of the Cheez-Its on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet.
Add 1 tsp of peanut butter on top of each Cheez-It, then top with another Cheez-It and lightly press down.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.
Dip each peanut butter Cheez-It sandwich halfway into the melted chocolate, then return to the prepared baking sheet.
Transfer to the fridge or freezer to set the chocolate before enjoying.

I know what you’re thinking, there’s no way these taste like a Butterfinger. That’s what I initially thought too. Until I tried them! 😉

Think of these sweet and savory bites as miniature candy bars made with a microwave and 4 ingredients! There’s nothing not to love! Give them a try and come back to let me know how it goes!

My top tips:

CHEEZ-IT VARIETY: I like using big Cheez-It’s for this because they can hold a little more peanut butter and are easier to handle since they aren’t as small, but feel free to use original Cheez-It’s too. You’ll just use a little less peanut butter to stuff each one.
PEANUT BUTTER VARIETY: I recommend using a creamy peanut butter like Jiff or Skippy because they are thick and sticky enough to hold the Cheez-It sandwich when pressed together. Some of the more natural varieties are too runny and will pour out of the sides of the Cheez-Its.
MICROWAVING THE CHOCOLATE: It’s important to microwave the chocolate in 30 second intervals, stirring between, to prevent burning. It should only take about 1 minute for the chocolate to fully melt and be ready for dipping!
WHY I ADD VEGETABLE OIL: Adding vegetable oil to the chocolate chips helps the chocolate become super smooth and the perfect consistency for dipping. I only dip the Cheez-It sandwiches halfway into the chocolate so that it doesn’t overpower the whole cracker, but you could also coat these completely in chocolate if you’d prefer!
SETTING THE CHOCOLATE: You can transfer these to the fridge or freezer to set the chocolate. If you’re impatient like me, the freezer will be a little faster but both ways work!
