Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups candy corn
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate smoothly)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, ensuring the sides hang over for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the candy corn and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth (approximately 2-3 intervals).
Quickly stir in the peanut butter until well combined. The mixture will become thick and resemble the texture of taffy.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a sheet of parchment paper or greased hands to press it evenly into the pan.
In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture in the pan, spreading it evenly to cover the top.
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has fully set and the bars are firm.
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper or foil. Use a sharp knife to cut them into 12 evenly sized bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
