These candy bars are so interesting! Who knew melting Candy Corn with peanut butter would create a candy that truly resembles a Butterfinger bar. The filling has a flaky texture - just a little softer than the candy - and the chocolate coating on top is perfect. A great treat for Halloween. Inexpensive to make, they'd be great for a hostess gift too. Sometimes I am embarrassed to tell people how easy this delicious candy is to make. It tastes very much like a Butterfinger candy bar and can be made in about 10 minutes (total time)! I like to buy a lot of candy corn right after Halloween when it is on sale, so it can be a very inexpensive candy to make.

- crunchy (16.3 oz)
- 6 ounce(s) semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 1 cup)

Intructions :
- In a microwave-safe bowl
- melt candy corn in microwave on high in 30-second intervals. Stir every 30 seconds until JUST melted and smooth. Make sure not to overheat and stir well after each interval.
- Stir in 1 jar of crunchy peanut butter to melted candy corn until well blended.
- Press mixture into a parchment paper-lined 9 x 13 pan. Allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
- Melt chocolate chips with 1 TBSP shortening in a double boiler or microwave. (I prefer the double boiler.)
- Pour melted chocolate over candy. Allow chocolate to set before cutting. I usually place it in the refrigerator until the mixture is thoroughly cooled.
- Cut into squares. Enjoy!(Optional) Sometimes I drizzle some melted milk chocolate on top of the semi-sweet chocolate after it's cooled just for decoration.
