Ingredients
- 2 cups candy corn
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate smoothly)
Directions
Step 1
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, ensuring the sides hang over for easy removal.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the candy corn and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth (approximately 2-3 intervals).
Step 3
Quickly stir in the peanut butter until well combined. The mixture will become thick and resemble the texture of taffy.
Step 4
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a sheet of parchment paper or greased hands to press it evenly into the pan.
Step 5
In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Step 6
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter mixture in the pan, spreading it evenly to cover the top.
Step 7
Refrigerate the pan for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has fully set and the bars are firm.
Step 8
Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper or foil. Use a sharp knife to cut them into 12 evenly sized bars.
Step 9
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
