Easy Homemade Butterfinger Candy
I don’t eat a lot of candy, but I LOVE Butterfingers.Ā When I saw this recipe on a recipe forum, I knew I had to give it a try.Ā EveryoneĀ on the board said it tasted just like a real Butterfinger.Ā The best part – this recipe only has three ingredients!Ā
How to Make Homemade Butterfingers with Candy Corn
How can you make a Butterfinger with only three ingredients?? Well, the secret ingredient is candy corn! Actually, it is melted candy corn. I would have never thought to melt candy corn, but it turns out that melted candy corn mixed with peanut butter transforms into something amazing! We were shocked at how great these tasted and how close they are to real Butterfingers. I had to give most of these away so we didn’t eat them all by ourselves.
- I used Peter Pan Honey Roasted Peanut Butter. Any brand will work fine.
- I have not made this with natural peanut butter, so I can not say how it would work.
- You can use smooth or crunchy peanut butter. I always use smooth.
- I used chocolate candy coating to dip the candy bars into. Feel free to substitute real chocolate. I use the candy coating because it melts better.
- You can cut the candy into as many bars as you prefer.

I don't eat candy bars but I think your idea of making them into "pops" for the holiday a good one. I hope you share once you've worked it out. If they're easy enough I might make 'em to send in to school along with some other stuff.

Candy corn? Who knew? It looks dangerously amazing! I love butterfingers!
Oh my goodness, are you kidding me? I've seen lots of remakes of candy, but would never even have wondered if this one was done. Looks and sounds de-lish. Must check Halloween clearance items!
Wow… great and unusual recipe.
Twisted….and bookmarked!

Who would have though, dang candy corn!
If you mix candy corn with salted peanuts, it tastes like a payday š
I know a Butterfinger nut who is doing to love this.

@Haggermaker4 – they aren't as flaky as a Butterfinger, they just taste like a Butterfinger. They spot on flavor.
Wow! This is a must try recipe!! I love butterfingers too and this recipe resembles a dessert that I had as a child in the public school system in Colorado. YUM!
I love Taste of Homeā„
Is the peanut butter center flaky like a Butterfinger? Or does it just taste like a Butterfinger?
Who woulda thunk it!
