Making Butterfingers At Home | But Better

Butterfinger candy bars seem like an impossible job to make at home. Right? Well.. turns out they’re actually kind of easy. Might go as far to say that they may even be… better.

Guys... the candy bar was broken prior to me dropping it. Fun fact: we bought two, and both of them were broken :)

I need like a c-roll of how you cleaned all your pans and bowls after making candy, I’m always curious how intense the clean up is 🥺

[@GnarlyOatmeal]

Candy clean-up is actually really simple: just fill the pan with hot water and let it sit. The sugar melts and then you clean it like you normally would.

[@EvilSanta482]

@@GnarlyOatmeal It also helps if you clean then right after your done.

[@Ceraxess]

Put water and soap in your pan/bowls and heat it on the stove. Let it sit a little and you are done

[@stonerzz1]

or you could put it in the freezer chocolate Harden and chip away at it with a knife while you watch cooking videos on KZbin lol

[@michaelsangoy1603]

joshua always cleans his pans and pots inbetween cooking times! like if he's waiting for something to boil or bake, he'll clean up his mess during that time. Makes it much easier to manage

I work for the chocolate company ferrero. My plant actually makes butterfinger, and I am in charge of that process so it’s fair to say I know a thing or two about this candy bar. Josh did an excellent job recreating it and I’d love to try out his recipe. Also they are orange because they add food coloring to the mass mixture called taffy.

[@4America2024]

Lucky you. Butterfinger is a favorite in this family. As the family Mimi, I had first choice of the Halloween candy. Lucky me. ❤😊

[@Der_Kleine_Mann]

Then please tell your boss: that we here in Germany want to have Butterfingers too. Thanks

[@thenextangusyoung]

Can you make them go back to the old recipe from years ago? they used to taste so unique compared to other candy bars but now it's just a generic peanut buttery bar

[@brookiebakerie]

​@@thenextangusyoungThat's exactly what I was going to say. They used to be my favorite candy bar as a kid. Now they're disgusting. They changed the recipe several years back and now I won't buy them at all. 🤢 I'll definitely have to try this homemade version.

[@jcfsaiyan]

Try melting candy corn fully and adding peanut butter (2:1 respectively) mixing until fully mixed and pour to make a square. Cut to bars and do the choco covering thing. Find some plain Wonka chocolate bars if you want the exact chocolate ferrero uses in butterfinger. It's 100% exact and isn't insanely sweet like this chocolate covered peanut brittle. ( Cause that all this is with peanut butter in it) use any butter you're not allergic to although the taste won't be exact it should still be a treat

[@matildarei]

In the first semester of culinary school, I took a confectionary class. We made butterfinger candy using a similar recipe and until now, I haven’t seen anyone make butterfingers without candy corn. I loved this video!

This is the first video I saw you on as soon as I saw all the stuff you made I subscribed

[@a57rich94]

I don't even like Butterfingers BUT I like your videos so that's why I'm here, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos no matter what you're making

[@raylynsidwell1340]

Can we just take a min and appreciate how adorable his mom is.

[@ChrisJones-gq9gt]

Yes

Your sentence sounds strange. Let's say your mom is adorable. Maybe she truly is. Now when I tell you that I appreciate your mom because she is adorable does that make sense? "I want to appreciate how adorable your mom is," sounds like I'm after something. "I want to show appreciation towards your mom by letting her know how adorable she is," that sounds sexual. "I want to take a min and appreciate how adorable your mom is," sounds like I've noticed an abnormality in your mom and I just want to cover it.

The reason this weird chocolate tempering method works, and why it's necessary to microwave it, is that most chocolate sold in stores is already tempered. So if you just *barely* melt it, it should remain tempered.

[@SyntaxMSU]

Yeah, it didn't work though. Totally bloomed.

[@AdamFloro]

@@SyntaxMSU Sous Vide or traditional method (if you’ve mastered it), is probably the most accurate.

Oooh I'm so excited I can't wait to make this!! I live in the UK and can't really get them here and when you do find them they are super expensive. That's my job tomorrow!!! Thanks for the recipe! 💕

[@whozonfirst9705]

Great idea for house warming gifts or tucked in a Christmas stocking. Homemade has more ❤

[@GabeGonzalez]

Should have called the video “BETTER FINGERS”

[@aura8808]

Oh yes

[@hannahmayo6582]

Yesss

[@Chirp331]

Opportunity missed honestly

5:38 "It's weird, but it works." This is literally what most professional chocolate companies do, seeding melted chocolate with the crystalline structure of finished, tempered chocolate. It works because nature will try to continue a pattern/substrate that has already been established. Look up nucleation if interested.

[@masuganut2082]

I think this is the best comment. I personally love the science behind things like that! There is a book called Food Lab that’s pretty interesting but it sounds like you already know your stuff 🙂

[@katekramer7679]

When I tried to do it this way not all of the seed chocolate melted 😭

[@Julia-hs9og]

Thank god for this video, we don't have butterfingers in Sweden (except for ridiculously overpriced ones at American stores), so I've ordered some corn syrup and am looking forward to trying this recipe soon!

[@M4rigoldSubliminal]

I’ve made this butterfinger recipe at least 5 times. It’s my fan’s go to recipe to bring for parties.

[@lou8391]

Mom Weißmann is so cute "Ah, it's delicious" The bangs! Moms are so great

[@mariah892]

Josh: Butterfingers are my favorite Also Josh: they’re bad, there’s so much wrong with them

[@sueblowes1595]

Tasty. Also can I add one of best demonstrators heard/watched in a long time.

[@joelseph98]

Josh's mom admiring him with pride is the most wholesome thing on the internet.

[@Toonolian]

Marvelous! I abhor the flavor of NEW Butterfinger, so I looked for recipes to make them myself. So many are made with candy corn, which seemed strange, so I tried your recipe instead. It turned out absolutely perfect! A delicate crunch that’s easy on the teeth, and great flavor. I used dipping chocolate so I wouldn’t have to temper.

[@jadesurber2051]

New Butterfingers are horrible.. I guess I'll have to make my own now too

[@krimsondeath22]

Thank you so much. For this year I have made up my mind that if I want candy or any sweets I need to make it myself. This will help me a lot as I love this candy. After the change of the candy, I have stoped eating them altogether.

[@hitsugayasgirl1]

Butterfingers used to be my favorite candy bars, then they changed the recipe for some reason and it tastes more peanut buttery and less like peanut brittle, which is why I liked it in the first place. The new butterfinger recipe sux and I'm so happy you made this so I can enjoy my favorite candy bar again.

[@keynanfaison6460]

Great video! When I make homemade butterfingers I melt a bowl of candy corn and mix it with melted peanut butter, freeze it and then dip it in melted chocolate and let it cool. Then cut them up into bars and serve.

[@calripplebear1293]

when I was a kid, 'sickeningly sweet' was 'just perfect!'

[@avarayne8091]

Right 😂

[@aleksandrkovalchuk1905]

Your mom is so proud of you!! It’s heartwarming

[@candithegreat2438]

Your mom is just so adorable!

[@piaffe25rider]

Beautiful!!!!!!🎉

[@brianagarcia7415]

I love butterfingers, they are made with peanuts and corn flakes. That's what makes them so good 😊

[@kitefan1]

I was sure they were made with confectioners corn flakes. I had to look that up to see if it had gluten in it. It doesn't. The list of ingredients online today doesn't contain the cornflakes. So thanks for confirming my reality.
