HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE BUTTERFINGER BITES
STEP 1
Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper and set aside. Add the candy corn to a medium bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals (stirring after each) until creamy. Add peanut butter and (using a wooden spoon) stir until creamy.
STEP 2
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer using a rubber spatula. Place in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Remove from fridge and cut into 1-inch squares. Arrange on serving plates.
STEP 3
In a medium microwavable bowl, heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals (stirring after each) until creamy. When smooth, drizzle or spread over the butterfinger bites. Either place back in fridge until ready to serve or serve immediately after topping with chocolate!
