Butterfingers

Yes - that's right - homemade butterfingers!

  • 16oz bag of candy corn
  • 16oz jar of creamy peanut butter
  • 12oz bag of milk chocolate chips (or more if you want to coat the entire bar)
  1. Melt the candy corn in the microwave...do 1 minute intervals at 50% power so it doesn't burn
  2. Mix melted candy corn with peanut butter...warning: it looks disgusting
  3. Pour onto a pan that you've lined with parchment paper (I did waxed paper and sprayed it with Pam)
  4. Let it harden (a few hours or overnight)
  5. Top or coat with melted chocolate chips
