Cheez-It Butterfinger bites are a no-bake candy recipe I serve as a snack at movie nights and other parties where I need a ready-made snack to serve to guests․ Cheez-Its sandwich peanut butter and are partially covered with chocolate․ Cheez-Its taste and feel similar to Butterfinger candy bars․
The half-dipped cookie is my favorite method of dipping․ An undipped edge helps when eating the cookie and keeps the cookie flavor from overpowering other flavors in the filling and coating․ Layered cookies are easier to work with after pressing and can be assembled and placed on a cookie sheet covered with parchment or wax paper to await dipping in chocolate․
Vegetable oil is added to the chips before microwaving them․ The oil prevents the melted chocolate from dripping off the sandwich cookies when they’re coated․ I like to coat only one side of the sandwich cookies thinly so that I can see some of the cracker through the coating on the other side․
No baking is involved‚ and this recipe can be made in 20 minutes․ I like easy recipes with great outcomes․ The recipes on this page result in candies that can be made without other kitchen equipment or baking․
