Homemade Butterfingers
- 3 cups candy corn
- 1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
- milk chocolate chips or candy melts, for dipping
- Place the candy corn in a large bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir and return to microwave. Continue heating for 30 seconds and then stirring until it is completely melted.
- Stir in the peanut butter. The heat from the candy corn should melt the peanut butter, but if not return to the microwave for 15 seconds. Stir to combine.
- Spread the mixture into an 8x8 baking dish lined with parchment paper. Smooth it out evenly in the pan. Let cool for one hour and then use a pizza cutter to slice into bars.
- Melt the chocolate chips or candy melts in the microwave.
- Carefully dip the candy bars into the melted chocolate and turn to coat.
- Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and wait for the chocolate to set.
- Store at room temperature for a chewy texture or in the fridge for a more crisp texture.
Hopefully these will taste pretty similar to the real ones.
