Ingredients
Scale
For the Peanut Butter Candy Base
- 1 pound candy corn
- 1 (16-ounce) jar peanut butter
For the Chocolate Coating
- 1 (16-ounce) package chocolate candy coating
Instructions
- Melt Candy Corn: Place the candy corn in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue melting in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Mix in Peanut Butter: Immediately stir the peanut butter into the melted candy corn until well combined. Quickly spread the mixture evenly into an 8×8 inch pan lined with parchment paper. Allow it to cool completely until firm.
- Cut Into Squares: Once firm, cut the peanut butter and candy corn mixture into squares to form the candy bars.
- Melt Chocolate Coating: Melt the chocolate candy coating according to the package instructions until smooth.
- Dip Candy Bars: Dip each peanut butter square into the melted chocolate coating, fully covering them. Place the coated bars on waxed paper and let them set until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
- Use smooth peanut butter for the best texture and coating adherence.
- Be careful when melting candy corn to avoid burning; stir frequently.
- Line your pan with parchment paper for easy removal after cooling.
- Allow chocolate coating to set completely before serving or storing to prevent sticking.
- Store finished Butterfingers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
