What a sticky fun recipe! The melted candy corn can be a challenge to stir but the end product is fantastic! I am not a candy corn fan at all but my husband loves the candy bar so I gave these a whirl. They turned out great! My husband said they were "extremely good" and "better than a Butterfinger." The taste is dead on with a slightly different texture which we like because it doesn't stick to your teeth.
Delicious! My husband who hates candy corn absolutely died when we tried these! He ate half the pan in the first 20 minutes after they were ready. Only thing I would change is the amount of candy corn. I would add an extra half cup. The candy corn is what makes it all stick together and I felt it needed a little more sticky-ness they were just a little crumbly. Definitely a keeper! Thanks!
Fantastic! SILLY easy and really very much like a Butterfinger. I used a 25 cent clearance bag of smushed "fall mix with candy corn" (the kind with the little orange and green pumpkins) I made it even easier by just sprinkling the chips on the warm filling and spreading them after they melted. Go ahead-you know you want to make these!
This candy is pretty close to the real deal in taste slightly different in texture. The melting of the candy corn is pretty simple but you MUST work quickly with this as it becomes very hard to stir. Have your peanut butter measured and ready to add before you start melting the candy corn. I poured mine in a parchment lined small cookie sheet. Once it set up (I did not put it in the refrigerator) I lifted out the parchment to cut. This cut nicely into squares and was a nice addition to Christmas cookie/candy platters. Everyone liked it no one raved about it.
These are excellent and taste exactly like the candy bar. I did not use shortening I just microwaved the chips at 30 second intervals stirring in between 'til they were ready. Also I stuck the bars in the freezer for several minutes before spreading on the chocolate. I didn't find this recipe until long after Halloween candy was gone but luckily Amazon stocks candy corn year round. This will be on my Christmas tray for many years to come.
Very sticky and very good! My boyfriend was hesitant because he dislikes candy corn but he gobbled it up once they were finished. Just like butterfingers!
These taste like a fudge form of the candy bar. Awesome! I doubled the amount of chocolate. 6 oz is not enough at all. I did good with the 12 oz bag of chocolate chips and did add the shortening which helped the chocolate spread easier.
My family make these every year for Christmas. Mom makes some my sister in law makes some and I make some. We use creamy peanut butter (it mixes easier with the melted candy) and we use the chocolate candy coating and dip the bars after they set. Its less crumbly and sticky to eat that way.
Pretty good recipe but next time I will use creamy peanut butter.
