Ingredients

• 3 cups Candy corn
• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 2 cups Milk chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons Coconut oil or shortening

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the candy corn. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. This typically takes about 2-3 minutes total.

Step 3

Quickly stir the peanut butter into the melted candy corn until fully combined. The mixture will thicken quickly, so work fast.

Step 4

Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan, using a spatula or your hands to smooth it out. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature or refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes to set.

Step 5

Once the base is set, melt the milk chocolate chips along with the coconut oil or shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.

Step 6

Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter base, spreading it evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Step 7

Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

Step 8

Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut into 16 bars or your desired size.

Step 9

Store the Butterfinger Bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
