It is Magic!

I recently stumbled upon and AMAZING recipe for "Butterfinger" candy.  The best part is that it only takes three ingredients. The candy is fairly easy to make, however it does take some muscle power :).

For your homemade "Butterfinger" you will need:
2 Cups of Candy Corn
2 Cups of Peanut Butter
Chocolate Candy Coating (Chocolate Chips, Melting Chocolate, or "Almond Bark". What ever your preference is)

First, take the 2 cups of candy corn and melt in the microwave.  Melt the Candy corn in a pretty large dish for one minute.  Stir, and continue to melt candy corn in 20 second intervals.  Stir in between each 20 second interval.   After candy corn is completely melted, completely mix in peanut butter.  This step is crucial, because if you do not mix in the peanut butter good then the final product ends up with candy corn chunks instead of the butterfinger like center.
After mixing the melted candy corn and peanut butter press into a pan lined with wax paper. I used two 8X8 pans beacaus I wanted my butterfingers to end up thinner so they would not be so rich.  However, if you want a thicker butterfinger center, then only use one 8X8 pan.
The next step is your choice. You can either pour the chocolate on top of the candy corn/peanut butter mixture, or you can cut the candy corn/peanut butter mixture and dip in the chocolate candy coating.
This is my creation, and as you can see they are quite crumbly, but so worth it! 

When you make your homemade magic (the "Butterfinger" mimic) be creative.  I added a layer of crushed pretzels to one of the butterfinger pans.  This added an extra crunch that I loved!  Another idea is to add some chopped peanuts to the butterfinger!

Good luck!
