There's Technically No Chocolate In Butterfinger, So What Is It? - Tasting Table
Briefly

The article clarifies that Butterfinger is not a chocolate bar but a candy bar with a mere 2% cacao content. According to the Fine Chocolate Industry Association, true milk chocolate must contain higher cacao percentages. The majority of Butterfinger is made from corn syrup, sugar, and peanuts, significantly below the FDA's standards for chocolate categorization. The text highlights the composition of Butterfingers, distinguishing it from actual chocolate confections and emphasizing the difference in quality and ingredients.
Butterfinger is a candy bar, not a chocolate bar, as it contains less than 2% cacao and focuses mainly on corn syrup and peanuts.
According to regulations, to be called 'milk chocolate,' a product must contain at least 10% chocolate liquor. Butterfingers fall far short of that.
