found the recipe for these little gems on pinterest. (i would think as much as i write the word 'PINTEREST' it would not auto-correct. am i the only one????) we made these little bits of yum over the holidays....and we LOVE them....2 ingredients to make them and 1 being CANDY CORN :)...yep...candy corn. not sure how anyone figured that one out, but i am grateful....

so.

we bought candy corn to try them and the bags were 1.99 each. a little steep for our new addiction.

so.

we went back after thanksgiving thinking they would be clearances...nope.

and we bought them anyway. isn't that the way addictions work?

we made them and ate them during Christmas.

fast forward a couple of weeks.

yesterday, i had a sick child. had to run to walgreens for meds. there in the clearance isle....i saw them....bags of candy corn. for .19!!!!!! so. we got a couple of bags and i suggest you go quickly and get some and try this sweet (no pun) little recipe. if you like butterfinger candy bars...you will LOVE this!!!

homemade butterfinger candy

1 lb candy corn
16oz jar peanut butter--you can use the cheapest, but the 'natural' gives more of the texture we all love so well!
Chocolate candy for coating--i used melted chocolate chips. if you want to cover them like the real thing, i would use milk chocolate and candy coating will work better for you...i just drizzled chocolate on top.

Melt candy corn in microwave on high 1 minute. Stir and continue cooking in 20 second intervals until melted, stirring after each interval. Stir in peanut butter. Spread mixture in an 8x8 pan lined with parchment or wax paper. Cool completely. cut or Break into squares/bars. Drizzle melted chocolate over the bars. Lay on waxed paper until cool. Store in refrigerator. Enjoy!

you better go get those bags of candy corn now.....or you will have to wait til next Thanksgiving to try these......or come to my house ;)
