Prepare your workspace
Clear a countertop or table, and line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper or wax paper. This is where you’ll assemble and let the bites set.

Form Cheez‑It pairs with peanut butter
Take one Cheez‑It cracker, spread a small dab (about ½ teaspoon) of creamy peanut butter on the flat side, then press together with another Cheez‑It to form a “sandwich.” Repeat until all crackers are paired. Make sure the peanut butter is spread evenly to hold them together securely.

Chill the assembled sandwiches (optional but helpful)
For a firmer, less messy coating process, place the Cheez‑It sandwiches in the fridge for about 10 minutes to set up, especially if your kitchen is warm.

Melt the chocolate
In a microwave‑safe bowl, combine the 1½ cups of semi‑sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of oil. Microwave in 20‑second bursts, stirring between each until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, melt over a double‑boiler on low heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Coat the sandwiches
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peanut‑butter‑filled Cheez‑It sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess drip off, then transfer to the parchment‑lined tray. Repeat until all bites are coated evenly.

Set the chocolate
Allow the chocolate to set by letting the coated bites sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or for quicker results, place them in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes.

Serve and enjoy
Once the chocolate is firm, arrange the Butterfinger Bites on a serving platter or store them in an airtight container to enjoy later.
