Easy Butterfinger Candy image

These candy bars are so interesting! Who knew melting Candy Corn with peanut butter would create a candy that truly resembles a Butterfinger bar. The filling has a flaky texture - just a little softer than the candy - and the chocolate coating on top is perfect. A great treat for Halloween. Inexpensive to make, they'd be great...

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb Candy Corn (16 oz)
1 jar(s) Peter Pan peanut butter, crunchy (16.3 oz)
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 1 cup)
1 Tbsp vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • 1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy corn in microwave on high in 30-second intervals. Stir every 30 seconds until JUST melted and smooth. Make sure not to overheat and stir well after each interval.
  • 2. Stir in 1 jar of crunchy peanut butter to melted candy corn until well blended.
  • 3. Press mixture into a parchment paper-lined 9 x 13 pan. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
  • 4. Melt chocolate chips with 1 TBSP shortening in a double boiler or microwave. (I prefer the double boiler.)
  • 5. Pour melted chocolate over candy. Allow chocolate to set before cutting. I usually place it in the refrigerator until the mixture is thoroughly cooled.
  • 6. Cut into squares. Enjoy! (Optional) Sometimes I drizzle some melted milk chocolate on top of the semi-sweet chocolate after it's cooled just for decoration.
