Did you know that you can make homemade Butterfingers with only 3 ingredients! Peanut butter, chocolate and a secret ingredient…candy corn. It’s true! These homemade butterfingers are the real deal, friends!
Butterfingers are one of my favorite treats and these homemade Butterfingers are kind of dangerous.
I don’t like candy corn, but I’ll buy a couple of bags during the fall just so that I can make these!
Homemade Butterfingers (Candy Corn Butterfingers)
1 lb. candy corn
16oz jar peanut butter (about 2 cups)
16oz pkg. chocolate candy coating or milk chocolate chipsMelt candy corn in microwave on high 1 minute. Stir and continue cooking in 15-second intervals til melted, stirring after each interval. Stir in peanut butter. Spread mixture in an 8×8 pan lined with parchment. Cool completely. I refrigerated mine to speed up the process. Cut into squares. Dip in melted chocolate candy coating. Lay on waxed paper to set.I found that it helped to refrigerate the candy corn/peanut butter mixture every few minutes while I was dipping the squares in the chocolate. They would start to soften and get sticky. 5 minutes in the refrigerator cured that and made them easy to dip again. These would be fun on lollipop sticks as well.

Brandy says
November 29, 2012 at 6:25 amjwassom,
I’m sorry I don’t really remember. It depends on how small you cut your bars into. I think it made aroudn 18-24 for me.
Katie M. says
October 10, 2013 at 1:35 pmI love this! I made this last weekend for my sister in law’s birthday and everyone loved them. I just have one question. How the heck do you clean off the melted candy corn? The first time I didn’t soak the (plastic) bowl in water right away and I scrubbed and rubbed for a good 20 minutes before I finally got it all off. This time I’m soakingthe bowl in hot water but iit’s still pretty stubborn? Any tips on cleaning the candy corn aftermath?? Thank you!
Brandy says
October 10, 2013 at 5:13 pmI just soaked it in warm soapy water, but it was still a pain! Glad yours turned out great and sounds like they were a hit!! 🙂
