Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 ounces Candy corn
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the candy corn. Heat it in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Quickly add the creamy peanut butter to the melted candy corn and stir until fully combined and smooth. If the mixture begins to harden, return it to the microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds to soften.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly greased if necessary) to press it firmly and evenly into the pan. Let it cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
Once the mixture has firmed up, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut it into rectangular bars or desired shapes using a sharp knife.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the vegetable oil, microwaving in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth.
Dip each peanut butter bar into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, and then place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with all the bars.
Allow the chocolate coating to set completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
Once set, serve and enjoy your homemade Butterfinger candy bars. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
