Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Candy corn
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups Milk chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the candy corn. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes total.
Quickly stir the peanut butter into the melted candy corn until fully combined. The mixture will thicken quickly, so work fast.
Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula or your hands to smooth it out. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to set.
Once the base is set, melt the milk chocolate chips along with the coconut oil or shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter base, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut into 16 bars or your desired size.
Store the Butterfinger Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
