Candy



Candy Corn Butterfingers
1 lb. candy corn
16oz jar peanut butter (I used Peter Pan Honey Roasted peanut butter)
16oz pkg. chocolate candy coating

Melt 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 8x8 pan lined with parchment. Cool completely. Cut into squares. Dip in melted chocolate candy coating. Lay on waxed paper to set.

I got this recipe off That Little Touch blog from Shelia Little and she got it from a blog called Plain Chicken. Shelia brought this to work and they are great. They taste just like Butterfinger candy bars. If you haven't checked out That Little Touch or Plain Chicken you should. Both a great sites.
