I am totally making these yummy 3-ingredient Butterfinger bars. I know it is December but I just have to find some candy corn somewhere. There is a discount food store near my house and they usually have that sort of thing. I’ll definitely be checking.
Check out what my pals over at Peanut Butter And Peppers had to say about this yummy recipe:
To make the recipe it is so simple. Just melt your candy corn in the microwave, stir in peanut butter and place in a baking pan to chill. Once they are chilled, cut the bars into any size you want. I started out with stick shapes than went to square. I kind of like the look of the square better. I got 45 pieces of candy out of one batch, but again it depends on the size you cut the bars. I went with a traditional candy size.
Such a deliciously simple recipe to follow.
Ingredients
1 22oz bag (3 cups) candy corn (I used autumn mix)
1 heaping cup Jif peanut butter, smooth
2 cups Hershey dark melting chocolate or milk chocolate
Instructions:
Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper; set a side.
In a microwave safe bowl, add candy corn. Cook for 1 minute, stir, cook for 30 seconds, stir, then cook in 15 second intervals until creamy. Add peanut butter, mix until combined. If the candy starts to get hard while mixing, place in the microwave for 10 seconds.
Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Smooth out with a back of a spoon. Place in the refrigerator for one hour to cool.
Take candy out of the refrigerator, and place on a cutting board. This part gets tricky. Using a sharp knife cut into pieces. You can make any shape and size you like.
Make a double boiler, by placing water in a medium pot, about a ⅓ of the way, place a large glass bowl over the pot and add chocolate. Stir the chocolate until melted. With two forks dip candy mixture into chocolate. Place the candy onto parchment paper and let it set.
Store candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a crispy bar or leave on the counter for a chewy bar.
