4. Dana says:

   I saw a comment about this recipe on another blog and the cook had accidentally overcooked her candy corn in the microwave for almost 3 minutes... the candy was bubbling up like milk will. She VERY quickly added the PB and the finished bars were crunchy like a real Butterfinger......

5. Julie Evink says:

   These look wonderful! I'm allergic to chocolate but can have white chocolate so I'm thinking maybe I'll mix it up that way. Can't wait to try them!

9. Mrs. Yazzie's Classroom News says:

   I think that I would like that they aren't as hard and flaky as the original candy bar. I love Butterfinger candy bars. But I hate how they stick to my teeth, so I almost never eat them! Gotta give this a try.

10. Eliza Kay says:

    I pinned these the moment I saw them so I remember to try them! They look so great:)

    I found you at the Talent Tuesday Blog Hop. I'm your newest follower:) Come say hi!

    "accidentally overcooked her candy corn in the microwave for almost 3 minutes... the candy was bubbling up like milk will. She VERY quickly added the PB and the finished bars were crunchy like a real Butterfinger......"

    We made this recipe tonight and I accidentally microwaved the candy corn too long too. I hadn't read the above quote yet, but I mixed in the PB anyway and hoped for the best.

    Ours turned out crunchy like a real butterfinger. Amazing!

15. Alice says:

    Ohhh, I love butterfinger bars. I wish I had seen this recipe before I bought a bag of the candy. Thanks!!

16. Gerri Kling says:

    OMG...seriously? I'm thinking there's just no way this will taste like Butterfingers, right? WRONG! Being the night owl that I am, and having a serious sweet tooth. I thought these sound super simple so...what the heck, it's almost 1 am and I'm wide awake. Here we go. The filling is in the fridge as we speak and my son is in his room scraping the bowl with a spoon! That's just the filling. We haven't even got to the chocolate yet. I think we are going to be in heaven quite soon....gotta go melt some chocolate now. Thanks for sharing!

23. Joy says:

    I love Butterfinger & I love candy corn, so I knew I'd love this recipe. I WAS RIGHT! They also passed inspection by my sweets-loving son!

24. Cari says:

    FABULOUS!! Seriously - these are so, so good and taste very similar to Butterfingers. We have to be sure we give some away to friends when we make them so we don't eat the whole pan ourselves. :)

25. Sheri Conant says:

    definitely the right flavor, but too soft

26. Sheri Conant says:

    They are better chilled in the fridge. I haven't tried freezing them yet...thanks for the recipe!

27. Kat. says:

    It's just after Halloween, so ALL the candy corn is on sale! Perfect time to stock up and make these delicious treats, for myself!

28. Trisha says:

    Chick-O-Stick candy tastes just like the inside of butterfingers to me.

29. Cyd says:

    We have to agree. We love Chick o Sticks! They are hard to find.

30. dagny says:

    do we need to stockpile candy corn all year to make these? since i not sure where to buy this time of year to even try this recipebut soon as it comes out with halloween candy i plan to stock up

31. Cyd says:

    I saw candy corn at Wal Mart yesterday. The Halloween candy is already appearing on the shelves. These are so delicious....you may want to stockpile! :)

32. MaryW says:

    Somehow, I can't imagine anything with a pound of candy corn melted into it tastes good. Try the homemade butterfinger from the Nov/1983 Bon Appetit,so much better, and no high fructose corn syrup.

33. Alyson Brooks says:

    Hi, just seen this recipe and they look lovely. However I'm from England and don't know, what's candy corn? I would so like to try and make these. Thanks

34. Cyd says:

    Hi Alyson! Candy corn is a popular candy in the fall here in the US. You can find it year round, but during August through November it's in all of the stores. Here is a link so you can take a look. http://www.amazon.com/Candy4u-DK-Candy-Corn/dp/B0000DZLTY

35. Linda leno says:

    What candy coating was used for these ?

36. Kristie says:

    I was wondering if you could suggest a replacement for the candy corn? My son is on a "dye-free" diet and can't have the candy corn, but I'd love to make these!

37. Cyd says:

    It's the candy corn that makes the butterfinger center, so it's one of the main ingredients. :( sorry!

38. Cyd says:

    We used Kroger chocolate candy coating on the baking aisle. Any kind of chocolate coating will work. Even chocolate chips.

39. Sue Binnington says:

    Hi just bought my candy corn off e bay £5.00 for kilo

40. Beth Loring says:

    Candy corn and peanuts eaten together taste just like a Payday candy bar.

41. Christina says:

    I made these last night. They did not turn out as pretty as your picture, but they taste pretty good. I think next time I will melt the candy corn just a bit more, as it seemed to seize up a bit when I was trying to mix in the PB. Oh well, at least this candy (even though it was a fail for me) tastes good. :)

42. patty says:

    Made these with my grandson. Fun and delicious!

    

43. Linda says:

    These look so good! I’m going to make them soon but I’m going to add toasted unsweetened dessicated covonut to the peanut butter/candy corn filling. Hoping it will taste like an old time candy bar roll called “ Chick-o-Stick”! One question though.. can I just melt the candy corn on medium on the stove until it all melts and is warm , so the peanut butter will blend in well?

    

44. Momma Cyd says:

    We have only made these as directed on the recipe. So not quite sure how it would all turn out over the stove top. But let us know - We LOVE Chick-o-Stick's.
