Ingredients

• 1 cup Crunchy peanut butter
• 1 cup Candy corn
• 2 cups Milk chocolate chips
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (optional, for taste)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with cooking spray, and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the candy corn and a splash of water (about 1-2 teaspoons) to help soften it during melting.

Step 3

Microwave the candy corn in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted. This should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes depending on your microwave.

Step 4

Immediately stir the melted candy corn to ensure it is smooth, then quickly mix in the crunchy peanut butter. Stir until the mixture is fully combined and smooth. If the mixture begins to stiffen, return it to the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish and press it down evenly into the pan using a spatula. Let it cool for about 20 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker cooling.

Step 6

Once cooled, cut the peanut butter and candy corn mixture into small, rectangular bars or bite-sized pieces.

Step 7

Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully melted.

Step 8

Dip each candy piece into the melted chocolate to coat it completely. Use a fork to lift the piece out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, and place it on a sheet of parchment paper to set.

Step 9

If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of salt over the coated candies before the chocolate hardens for an extra flavor boost.

Step 10

Allow the chocolate to fully set at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving. Store the candies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
